A review by christineparkerco
The Book of Air and Shadows by Michael Gruber

Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.
I really wanted to love this book — a mysterious Shakespeare manuscript!! But there was WAY too much gratuitous objectification of women for me. Like it drove straight past characterization and veered into sexual assault territory. In the first 20% of the book. I couldn’t get past it. I’m also docking points for lack of consent and fat shaming. I realize this was written in 2007 and is a product of its time, but it does not hold up in 2024.
