The Book of Air and Shadows by Michael Gruber
2.0

Picked this book up on the basis of a good review - something like "a Da Vinci Code for Shakespeare lovers." It was not as good as I wanted it to be. The multiple narrative viewpoints were hard to identify with, and none of the protagonists were particularly empathetic. The writing, which I liked at first for its quirkiness, quickly grew old and self-indulgent. It took me so long to read that my other library book is now overdue!
