A review by thefriedone
Shakespeare: The World as Stage by Bill Bryson

3.0

Quite informative but not the most enjoyable read. It turns out everything we think we know about Shakespeare's life is either based on shaky evidence or completely made up. So it would be a mistake to say that I learned a lot about his life in this book, because all I really learned was that the answer is "we don't know" to almost every question. I do enjoy Bryson's style and it's a quick read, so I would recommend if you are interested in learning how everything you know about Shakespeare is actually wrong.
