It reminds me a lot of the wonderful historical from the late 80's full of vibrant characterization, amazing lyrical prose and flawed heroes. I couldn't put it down and I can honestly say that historical have been going downhill for a while. This book gives me hope that publishers and authors are actually listening to the readers of historical romance who have been saying for years that historicals just aren't what they used to be!

To quote Dorothy Parker, "Shakespeare really is as good as everyone says it is." And the great thing about Shakespeare, it's easy to make friends with the millions of other people who have read it. You'll understand literature better, you'll understand humanity better, if you get familiar with Billy the Bard.<br />Shakespeare is permeated so strongly into our culture (and should be, I feel.) Knowing the plays adds a dimension to other things you read and see. Disney's "The Lion King" was based on the plot of Hamlet, for example. Knowing that and recognizing it adds a number of nuances of meaning to many lines.<br /><br /> If you don't want to read it, then why don't you watch it? Olivier and Branagh are two actors worth watching. Well, maybe not Branagh's Hamlet, lol. Hamlet has over 2,000 lines in the original and Branagh thought it was necessary to add even more. His Henry the V is superior even to Olivier's I feel. Kevin Kline has done a wonderful version of Midsummer Night's Dream, and I think that Anthony Hopkins was unforgettable in Titus Andronicus. There are more popular versions of Shakespeare's plays out there, why don't you give them a tr<br /><br />Beverly Summers of electricgryphon.comBeverly Summershttp://electricgryphon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-64164166133225051322009-04-23T19:24:00.000-04:002009-04-23T19:24:00.000-04:00There are plenty of authors I enjoy, but I can't t...There are plenty of authors I enjoy, but I can't think of any that I want everybody to read - I usually recommend specific things for specific people.ikkinlalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04832919596884346022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-31785347442482819252009-04-23T18:35:00.000-04:002009-04-23T18:35:00.000-04:00Listen to Neil Gaiman read one of his own works.
