I finished this book infuriated with the main character so...does that make it good? Or bad? So it gets a three.
This is like if Center Stage had a murder. Or if in "A Separate Peace" the queer subtext had been more text and if Gene had stopped being pathetic and just murdered Finney like he clearly wanted to.
Anyhow, there's a lot of good here but still it's not great.
I'm sure people who know Shakespeare better would enjoy it way more than I did
