The Book of Air and Shadows by Michael Gruber

2.0

---

Interesting premise--old manuscript found in an old book possibly leads to a lost Shakespeare play. One that sounds particularly cool--Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots! There's two protagonists, one of whom is writing in the first person and the other who is written about in the third. Competently done, though I didn't like the first-person narrator very much. This is intentional on the author's part: the character himself always admits that he's a jerk, but that didn't make him more likable.
