★★★★★ Amazing "Got this today. Read this today. Couldn't put it down. What an amazing and imaginative spin on a Shakespeare classic. Highly recommended!!!" - Chris R, Amazon

"...really smart & clever, & particularly enjoyed the Frankenstein piano & the seamless riffing from high Shakespeare to low demotic." - MARTIN ROWSON

★★★★★ Terrific team-up! "A genuine page-turner with more twists and turns than a contortionist playing twister on the Hampton Court Palace Maze schematics after downing a dozen Red Bulls. Highly recommended!" - Laurence, Amazon

★★★★★ Excellent a book I couldn't put down "I got this book yesterday, usually it takes me a while before reading a book but read this yesterday and loved it and I normally stay away from Shakespeare works but not this enjoyable and funny" - Debbie, Amazon
