Could not get into this one - at all. The plot sounded fascinating but the writing, while not bad, was dry dry dry. I couldn't muster an iota of care for any of the characters, either. I made it to the half-way point but will probably never finish this one.

This book had some iffy reviews, so I really wasn't sure what to expect, but I have to admit I really really liked it!

I was a big Shakespeare lover in my younger years, so I enjoyed this book with all the possible scenarios as to who really wrote Shakespeare's plays.

The question of "Who wrote all those Shakespeare plays?" has circulated for at least a couple of centuries. I vaguely recall doing a research paper on the topic back in college, well over 20 years ago. It arises because of a belief that what's known about the person of William Shakespeare - which is...
