The subtitle for this one is "A novel of sex, drugs, and Shakespeare," and that pretty much sums it up. I'm not sure how interesting it would be for someone not familiar with or interested in Shakespeare, but since I am both of those things, it was a lot of fun for me. Pretty vivid sex and drug scenes as well, interspersed with quasi-historical re-imaginings of Shakespeare's life and inspiration for his works.
It's fun to spot the re-purposed quotes from Shakespeare, though I'm sure I missed some. This is my next book club book, and I'm interested to see what people say about it.
