Shakespeare Undead | Lori Handeland

Mehso-so

I got this one out of a little free library and have to say there is a reason with there is an offer sticker on it. This is supposed to be the story behind the dark lady of Shakespeare‘s sonetts m, but with zombies. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ The only good things in this novel are the original quotes of his plays and their usage for the dialogues in the text. I am torn between So-So and Pan.

The author uses original quotes by Shakespeare at the beginning of each chapter - sometimes they go well with the chapter, sometimes they don‘t.

Definitely me and not the book…probably…maybe…likely…🤷‍♀️ I just could not get into it—which I suspect will make me an outlier when we discuss it at book club—and I had to force myself to finish it. It‘s not bad, the writing is, in fact, excellent but I just didn‘t find the story interesting & in the end, I really didn‘t connect with the characters. Just a so-so read for me although I get why other people like & why it gets such good reviews.

BooksandCoffee4Me I had the same experience with this one. It was so highly reviewed, I assumed my lack of interest was my issue. 5d

dabbe @TheBookHippie I don't know why, but I always thought of Gertrude in that way. Maybe because even her son lusts after her and basically calls her a whore? 🤣 6d

📖 Tyrant: Shakespeare on Politics by Stephen Greenblatt

'Why would anyone, [Shakespeare] asked himself, be drawn to a leader manifestly unsuited to govern, someone dangerously impulsive or viciously conniving or indifferent to the truth?'
