logophile 's review for:
The Book of Air and Shadows
by Michael Gruber
I found most of the characters to be thoroughly dislikeable, so the first two-thirds of the book or so were a hard slog. When things picked up a bit, making the plot more of a thriller, I found a lot of it implausible. By the time we got to the end, the plot turned farce-like. My overall impression is that the whole book was rather an incoherent and unlikeable mess, and that having it revolve around a Shakespeare manuscript was a particularly poor choice.
I listened to the audio book and disliked the narrator as well. His tone struck me as overly snide, which was probably appropriate for our unpleasant protagonist, but it made me even less interested in what became of him. Nevertheless, I doubt I would have even finished the book had I read it on hard copy.
