The author has beautifully culminated the Shakespearean writing style of making the historical events vivid in the eyes of the readers.David Lane has done a wonderful job of giving the potential readers an opportunity to get acclimatized with the high stylized form of art. The book silhouettes a traditional blank verse with unrhymed iambic pentameter. Readers will come across a poetic and archaic form of writing which may pose some comprehension issues. The book for me presented all the possibilities of English language in the form of blank verse format. The added bonus of the book is in the poem after the end of the play which is another exploration into the blank verse style. The poem cascades from philosophical to introspective form. David Lane’s book probably might not be the best choice but definitely holds invaluable veritable treasure at the disposal of the readers.

A play akin to Shakespeare certainly would not be an ideal book for a casual read given that there are vocabulary items that need to be understood. But definitely a book which can be read for holidays.
Great job.
