3.0

I'm not convinced a single conversation between characters written in this book is at all how human beings actually speak to one another. It's very strange, everyone in his life has something philosophical to say and somehow they're all written like they're the same person, with similar intentions and desires.

It was interesting seeing the main character, William, realize he was infact the villain of his own story, and following his journey around accepting his situation was well done. 

If anything, it's made me want to read Shakespeare. 

3/5 Stars
