Brother John Robb knows. He was there!

I've read this book three times now and finally it has a happy ending

An essential read

A must for Roses fans and musos alike

An exciting, substantial and hyperbolic study of THE most important pre-Oasis Britrock outfit

Riveting

Really gives a sense of being in touch with the man. Greenblatt’s knowledge of the plays and the times in which they were written is so encyclopaedic that he can assemble a convincing portrait of Shakespeare without resorting to smoke and mirrors

The most complexly intelligent and sophisticated, and yet the most keenly enthusiastic, study of the life and work taken together that I have ever read

One of the finest recent Shakespeare biographies

Greenblatt’s fantastically readable biography of our greatest writer paints a riveting portrait of Elizabethan England

Compulsively readable and deeply imaginative

At last, the book Shakespeare has deserved: a brilliant book written by a virtual eyewitness who understands how a playwright takes the stuff of his life and his world and makes it into theatre

A tour de force … a book for artists and ordinary people as well as scholars and students

A wonderful piece of work

Full of anecdotal gifts you will never forget... Ephron reflects on the early days of her career-memories of her time working as a mail girl at Newsweek and writing for Esquire-while taking every opportunity to get real about her life at the time she was penning this memoir.
