My Name is Will by Jess Winfield

4.0

I saw this book on a "shelfie" posted on Facebook by Austin Tichenor, who is currently a member of the Reduced Shakespeare Company, of which author Jess Winfield was a founding member. After reading a brief synopsis of the book, I thought it sounded like something fun. As a lifelong Shakespeare fan, I did find the plot pretty interesting, and the characters engaging. To my way of thinking, the plot line involving young William Shakespeare in the 16th century was a bit more interesting than the plotline involving grad student Willie Shakespeare Greenberg in the 1980s. Still, I enjoyed the book overall. Well worth reading.
