If you're into Shakespeare than this book is for you. The book is very very well written but is missing the verve and humor that I have come to expect. I did enjoy the book and learned a lot about Shakespeare whom I enjoy as much as the average Joe. The book does have some amusing anecdotes, but I enjoyed his Sunburned Country and Short History much much more. I appreciate the chapter on "Claimants" to Shakespeare's title as best literary figure the most interesting. It gets 4 stars because it's If you're into Shakespeare than this book is for you.
