This was an interesting read. As a book lover I enjoyed the discussion over Shakespeare's origins and the technical aspects of binding and forgery. I also really liked the main character, Peter, and his personality and idiosyncrasies. And his love story with Amanda was beautiful. However, there were a few things that fell a little flat for me. The story seemed to be a little too perfect at times, like things "fit" just too well. Peter's relationships with Liz and Cynthia (especially when she tries to kiss him) see unrealistic for someone who suffers the issues that he does. A few times the dialogue was just off. And it was odd, because sometimes it was spot on...I don't think I've ever read a book with that issue before. Normally either people get dialogue or they don't. And finally it was sometimes too disjointed for the number of characters and names introduced. There were a lot of time periods and characters that were raced through and it was confusing to follow at times.
