I've got to say not my usual type of book but I can honestly say it had me hooked from the first page Benet Brandreth is an expert at this genre the language was spot on as was the settings he portrayed I absolutely love the friendship between the main characters Oldcastle, hemminges and Shakespeare the dialogue between them had me laughing out loud at times the plot is constantly changing and keeps you reading.all the events lead to the forest outside Verona where plots are uncovered and it all comes to a conclusion the action is endless and truly well written I'm definitely going to be purchasing any future books that Benet writes as I am now a complete fan is absolutely recommend this book for anybody who loves been kept on the edge of their seat
