Mr. Bryson's writing is accessable and entertaining. He traces all that we know and mostly don't know about Shakespeare from early years to his death. He also addresses those groups who don't think Shakespeare wrote his poetry/plays plus provides a cultural backdrop that is very interesting. My biggest takeaway-we don't know much about Shakespeare the person and a lot of individuals like to conjecture!
I would not hand this book to teens unless you prep them for reading about various individuals' deviant sexual behaviors during that time.
