Negative Positive
Title: Shakespeare's boy? NOT!!!! A disappointing book!
Review: Anyone wanting to romantic, tender tale of boylove and innocence lost in Shakespeare's time will be disappointed by this book. The main character is totally unbelievable, and worse, unlikable. He's basically got world view of a 20-something bar fly. His language is so foul so often, that it becomes boring. But worse to me, was the slang is so contempary, that any feeling of being in West Hollywood or Castro instead of Shakespeare's England. Great Marlow is a fat, unwashed pervert, and Will is vague and undefined. Of course, some gay men really think like this that this stuff is very gay chic and cutting edge, and might find the book amusing, so I'll give 2 stars. But to an adult with a life and education, and actual positive experiences in my gay life, this book was a waste of time and money.
