A review by franzio97
Plötzlich Shakespeare by David Safier
5.0
OH MY GOD
This book is so good! It's just perfect!
“Plötzlich Shakespeare” started out as slightly weird and super funny, got weirder and funnier with every page and finally culminated in a gripping, funny, weird, happy and moving ending. This novel deserves all the stars because of its story and even more for Safier's incredible writing.
Rosa is a relatable protagonist and I love how Safier includes various little side blows to today's society through her and her opinions.
Shakespeare is fantastic. At the beginning, Safier warns the reader of the historical inaccuracy but nevertheless has he created a somewhat realistic 16th-century England, with Shakespeare right at the center, being weird and funny and just totally awesome.
I read this books within two days and putting it down even for an hour seemed hard. The writing is funny (a little earthy at times, but hey, that's my kind of humor!) and really makes the reader part of the journey of these two people. It ends happy but with an important message, something not all comedic writers can do: Love yourself.
I recommend this book to everyone who is looking for something light and funny, and for everyone who (like me) loves Shakespeare.
