Oh wow this one is overhyped. The twist at the end was completely unearned. For a writer that studied Shakespeare the book is surprisingly bare on any intelligent discourse, preferring instead to just randomly quote the bard. Style over substance, a cautionary tale about why we must avoid annoying theatre kids.
