The story line jumped around as if the author decided to shift gears mid stream. The plot is well thought out and fits with many of the articles that I have read dealing with the authenticity of Shakespeare being Shakespeare. What really drove me crazy was the author's constant use of the non-word "alright. At various points, I felt sure I knew the answer, only to be surprised.

It is not anything that is detrimental to the story, but it can be irritating to see an I just in the middle of a sentence, here and there.
I can't believe so many people loved this book. The lead character is a whiny brat, and she is surrounded by self important whiners. The lack of care of this manuscript is apalling. The entire thing is completely unbelievable and total waste of time. Hopefully everyone out there who already has it got the free Kindle edition, because that's what it's worth. The only reason it's two stars rather than one is it does seem to have had the benefit of some copy editing. I value correct I can't believe so many people loved this book.
I value correct spelling and that's all this has going for it. Nov 15, Beth Burr rated it it was ok. My rating can be summed up in 4 words- could have been better. There were so many characters and they were each quite complicated so they could have been developed better. But there were story lines that were just forgotten by the end. Joanna is getting divorced, I guess that's the end of that story.
She has some sort of relationship with her brother-in-law; what kind of relationship, we'll never know. Then at the end there's a short paragraph where the manuscript is determined authentic! That's My rating can be summed up in 4 words- could have been better. But it won't be explored beyond that. Was this meant to be a series?
Sep 05, Becky Wooler rated it it was ok Shelves: I expected it to be more about an actual Shakespeare play. But it was really more about all this drama surrounding a theater company and the daughter of a used bookseller. Oct 07, Laura rated it liked it. I liked parts of the main story line of this book and found it enjoyable to read I think the author did well with some of the character development and kept the story moving -- despite a lot of subplot activity that was kind of distracting.
I think with more writing and refinement the author could produce a very good book. Aug 15, Kristin rated it did not like it Shelves: I finished it, but not because I wanted to. This is our September book club selection, primarily because one of the girls knows the author. Which will make it hard when I rail against the awful writing, convoluted plot, and poorly-developed characters.
You don't make someone a main character and write from his point of view only to kill him off halfway through! Somebody could have used an editor. This book left much to be desired on numerous levels. The plot was okay and I stayed with it just to find out if the manuscript was authentic. The characters had the potential to be bigger than life actors, drama on stage and off, etc. Won't give this one any recommendation.
Apr 10, Kristi rated it it was ok. I got this as a free Kindle read. The book seemed to have so much potential in the beginning. I like the cast of flawed characters, especially the agoraphobic protagonist, and was intrigued to explore the possibilities of where the story could lead. There was enough mystery to keep me reading, but the abrupt ending earned this book 2 of 5 stars, which is slightly generous. Mar 02, Beverly rated it it was ok. A manuscript of a different Hamlet by Shakespeare is found in a crate full of old papers shipped from London.
A possible forgery, a theft, a murder, drug use, politics, divorce, gay couples, agorophobia, and of course the theater all play a part in this book. A good beginning but many things are not fleshed out enough. A fascinating story; good characters; too many strange typos -- but for a free download to my Kindle, it was better than I expected. I really liked it, and at the same time, learned something about theatrical companies. An interesting plot, starting with the discovery of an old manuscript, and a promising cast of characters.
Though I enjoyed the story, it's telling could have been sharper, with enhanced character development. Interesting premise, flawed execution. What really drove me crazy was the author's constant use of the non-word "alright. Oh, and I'm no doctor, but I'm pretty sure a blow to the head doesn't cure Alzheimer's. Nov 01, Stephanie rated it did not like it. It felt like there were gaps in the story, and then it just ended.
We went from "oooh, it's a mystery" to "yep, done. At least two storylines were almost entirely unresolved. By marrying Anne without her father's permission, Donne offended against both civil and canon laws. He soon found himself jobless, in prison, and barred from communication with his bride. Donne responded with an outpouring of eloquent, pleading letters to Sir George More and to Sir Thomas Egerton, his former employer and his wife's uncle. In this one to More, Donne writes movingly of Anne, "whose good ys dearer to me by much than my lyfe.
Despite some financial difficulties brought on by the scandal, the marriage was a happy one. After his wife's death in childbed in , the great poet vowed never to marry again. David Garrick commanded the London theatrical scene in the 18th century with unprecedented charisma and force. The Folger holds the world's largest and most comprehensive collection relating to Garrick's life and work.
This includes thousands of pages of correspondence, both written by him and addressed to him. Correspondents include the premier literati, artists, and aristocrats of the day.
One of two Eliot notebooks at the Folger, it includes extracts from the works of dozens of poets, dramatists, historians, literary critics, philosophers, and mythologists, in English, German, French, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, and Spanish. In , the Folger acquired the theatrical archives of actress and playwright Lynn Redgrave — The collection encompasses a variety of materials representing every stage of Redgrave's career: The collection also contains materials related to her father, Sir Michael Redgrave, and an extensive correspondence with her mother, actress Rachel Kempson.
The featured image is a sample from her character journal for the film Gods and Monsters , and provides one of many fascinating glimpses into her process and history as one of the foremost actresses and Shakespeareans of our time. Other literary manuscripts include commonplace books, in which men and women wrote selections from sermons, poetry, or plays that appealed to them.
