This book is not for those who like the story to be tidy and everyone walks off into the sunset happy. This is a great story about a man trying to live out of the shadow of his father.

I enjoy Shakespeare and that is what got my attention in part. The rest of the story is what kept me reading. I read it slowly because the story hurts. It is reality, in all the hormone driven, fear driven glory.

I will not give away the ending. However, in an end befitting Shakespeare himself you find yourself hoping for closure and that the story does turn out all right.

I like redemptive story. I hope Arthur finds his redemption and that one day they will truly live a fairytale ending.
