Never have I been a Shakespeare fan, but I don't think that's necessary here at all. I ended up relating to the characters passion for their art, their sense of found family and togetherness. They were all so broken in their own ways. 

I don't know why, but I'm feeling hopeful after reading it...and I often teeter on whether that's a good thing or not.
