[Ann · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not sure what I was expecting when I picked this off the library's discard pile, but it wasn't this. That said, I was pleasantly surprised. The character descriptions are well done, so you get a sense of what it was like to tour with the Shakespeare company, for example. While I didn't like some aspects of the military section as well (at that point, there were a lot of characters to keep track of), I did like the comedy.
Interesting read.
