I finished this book because I was curious how things would tie together, but wanted to stop reading so many times. The story itself was interesting (though much of that credit goes to Shakespeare) and the plot twisted enough that you probably wouldn’t guess everything even if you’d read A Midsummer Night’s Dream. But the writing was convoluted and in many places the language was outdated and offensive, even for 2011. Hard to read, not sure it was worth it to finish.
