I was not, not by a long shot, bored or confused at any point in this book. Everything came across clear with a high point of interest. Any moments that could possibly be classified as clich? were, in your book, like reading something that had never been introduced before. Brilliance in its purest and most enjoyable form. Each character, coupled with Mr. Hassinger's deeper understanding of their minds, was like frosting on the cake. Indeed, though he had only been in the book a scant few pages, I shed a tear for poor Hamnet. Of course, all my friends thought I was batty, but they have yet to indulge in the novel. Even the bard himself brought forth a new image that I might not have imagined for such as himself- the image of a father. Besides this, he wrote everything. Nothing, no emotion nor suspicion, went edited for the uncommon uses, such as older men looking at Susanna, and Will's (may I call him Will?) parental protection kicking in. It brings a reality to the time period that I've never sensed in other books revolving around the same era.

I liked this book, but it wasn't like the best book ever. It was interesting to learn about Shakespeare's life, other then his plays. Susanna, the main charater, is a singer, and the book is mostly about her trying to get a job, and her realationship with her father. It leaves you hanging, and there is no big climax really.
