I was never a lover of Shakespeare and I feel as though the style may be hard for me to read. Nevertheless, congrats on BOTD - I am sure there are many people who would love this book.

I couldn't agree more, L. Thanks for the review. It was just as expressive as the book.

Thumbs up for such a wonderful review. I have come across poetic books of romance. But I really love this one because it was just about the poetry alone but also having that of Williams Shakespeare made me fall so in love with it. Its really a wonderful book and I for one, I really do love books of Shakespeare. Thanks for your review.

A fascinating period of history to choose for a play, plenty of drama in Louis XVI - I enjoy Shakespeare in any form and do read it for pleasure, so I'll look forward to getting into this one.

I'm not a big fan of plays or even Shakespeare, though it's been a while since I've a work of his. It's great that you love the language in this work and this definitely seems like a thought-provoking play. However, Shakespeare does make me flinch back to high school, so I think I'll pass on this one. Thank you for the great review!

I am not sure that the book is for me, however your review was very eloquent, pleasant and read worthy. I have a feeling that I'd enjoy reading your reviews more than this particular book :)
