Shakespeare: The World as Stage by Bill Bryson

4.0

An enjoyable, easy read which tried to fill in more information about Shakespeare. It was informative, funny and concise and I found it so easy to read it was over in no time at all.

It’s a read that takes you into the century Shakespeare lived and how so many academics and others have dedicated their lives to finding out more about him. The impact he has made on literature is clear and there was lots of facts about words and pronunciation and the history of time which was very interesting to read.

It’s a great choice for something a bit different and even though not everything is known about it’s his lasting presence in our lives which makes this read really special.

Any fans of Shakespeare or of Bill Bryson will eat this up.
