Shakespeare: The World as Stage by Bill Bryson

3.0

---

I've always been a Shakespeare fan and I think that Bill Bryson is a genius, so I was sure this would be a good read... It turns out that It was, mostly. However, you fill a book with "people say Shakespeare did this, but no one really knows" and it gets a bit old. Still, Bryson is witty and paints a nice picture if England at this time and his underhanded ridicule of some theories were well-worth the read!
