    <body><![CDATA[I am almost done reading <em>Nothing Like the Sun</em>, and it strikes me as a brilliant book: rough and sharp language, vibrant imagery, and definitely not a romanticized view of Shakespeare, thank goodness.

    <body><![CDATA[I enjoyed seeing snippets of Shakespeare's plays and poems presented throughout the text. More than implying that even the greatest of artists are mere thieves of the lives that flow around them, Burgess takes these moments to inject interesting critiques of Shakespeare's work (e.g. the particularly...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8433495">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm inclined to agree with Harold Bloom that this is the best novel ever written about Shakespeare -- although I can't say I've read many. Very lively, funny, bawdy, smart, and as is always the case in books like this, the more you know about the subject the funnier it is.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[At times, Nothing Like the Sun is extraordinarily gripping.  During certain scenes, such as WS writing a sonnet at home early in the book or WS witnessing the executions, the brilliance expected from Burgess is on clear display.
