The Tempest by William Shakespeare
4.0

The Tempest is shorter than I had originally thought. I read the whole thing in one day more or less. I haven't read Shakespeare in awhile, but I enjoyed reading this one, especially since I finally get to read the origins of Caliban's namesake from Rob Thurman's Cal Leandros series. I was surprised that this play is not a tragedy but a comedy. It's definitely interesting to glimpse at Shakespeare's thoughts during his last moments also. However, I, perhaps cynically, doubt that such a guy as Prospero really exists.
