This was an interesting listen and I definitely learned a lot about Shakespeare but it’s definitely not as good as some of Bryson’s other books. I also felt like Bryson definitely had a decent amount of bias because many times he’d talk about how he was the greatest writer/author and stuff like that. I’m not disagreeing with him as I’m not in a place to make any arguments for or against his claims (I mean look at my recent reads) but the bias is definitely there.

It did give me a desire to read more Shakespeare but we’ll see how long those feelings last. Maybe I’ll do Shakespeare September as a follow up to Rick Riordan summer to get my brain working again. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
