“Absolutely mind-blowing!”

“I have zero doubt that David has solved Shakespeare. Starting with Romeo & Juliet in junior high I have read a fair amount of Shakespeare but I never really felt that I got it. Now I do—thank you David! I can't wait to read volume two.”

—J. Scott

— Reviews from Readers —

“This is the definitive historical fiction about Shakespeare!”

“One can’t know how I’ve waited for someone to get this right ever since the movie Shakespeare in Love reductively portrayed William Shakespeare.”

—J.D.

“William Shakespeare explodes onto the page…”

“Shakespeare awakes to find himself next to his wife, Anne, and she advises him to switch sides, “as everyone knew, it was better to sleep on the right side of your body, at least for the first part of the night-and to sleep on your left side, for the second part of the night.” Ah, the indicators of a well researched novel: the sleeping habits of the times! And suddenly, at 7 pages in, I know I’m holding the story I wanted, and I need to share it with my family. Thank you!”

—J. Judah

“The story is vivid and immediate.”

“You’re pulled straight into it. It reads almost like a young adult novel in the best possible way — accessible, but not shallow. It opens doors without simplifying the depth. It feels broader and more layered than expected — even more complex than Shakespeare in some ways.”

—S.H.

“Schajer has truly solved Shakespeare!”

“In a brilliant and well-written book, he does what thousands of scholars could not do - reveal the hidden architecture behind Shakespeare (and likely western civilization). If you love Shakespeare, read this book! If you have never even heard of Shakespeare, read this book. It is a thrilling ride, and a great read . I just ordered volume II. Can’t wait to read it.”

—Paul T.

“Brilliant!”

“Fascinating concept! Loved the story. A must read for every Shakespeare fan. Looking forward to reading the whole series!”

—M. Surizon

“Riveting”

“This book will challenge what you thought you knew about Shakespeare. The author clearly did his research and is not afraid to take his analysis beyond conventional wisdom.”
