I downloaded this from Audible, I have started it several times. It's just not grabbing me.
History meets "thriller" -- mildly entertaining. I'm a sucker for Shakespeare conspiracies.

'The Book of Air and Shadows' is not really a literary mystery. It's a regular mystery whose plot features a literary icon. I'm enjoying the mystery aspect, but I must admit that when the story centers on a potentially undiscovered Shakespeare autograph manuscript, I would like the meat of the story to be a little more worthy of the idea it's trying to sell. In this vein, I prefered 'Codex' by Lev Grossman and '[b:The Rule of Four|18431|The Rule of Four|Ian Caldwell|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166913264s/18431.jpg|3805]' by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason.
This was a great mystery thriller. There were several twists and was very entertaining. It's about finding a "lost" play by Shakespear, which of course is invaluable. There are several people trying to find it for their own reasaons and it kept me, as a reader, on my toes.
