Spanking Shakespeare

by Jake Wiener

(Guided Response)

              This book talks about how Shakespeare's awkwardness towards his writing and his women.  His first romantic interlude was with a girl named Celeste.  Everyone knows about the first kiss.  No one ever forgets, but in this instance Shakespeare wishes he could.  His endeavor for sex was out standing.  Seriously how many seniors do you know that are virgins? Ex specially on the male side.  Not to many now a days.  The one love story in the book just mind blew me and that was the one with his best friends.  I really don't consider it a love story but a nooky fest if you got to get drunk first to do it.  You do have to consider who she picked all he did was talk about his bowel movements, come on I need a drink on that one.  Eventually, Shakespeare finds his calling and the love of his life with someone very unexpected and I'm not going to say who, you will just have to read it for yourself!!  To me this book was everything I didn't think it would be.  I was expecting a drama about his dad being a drunk, his mom being paranoid about everything, and his brother being an ass.  Well that was all true with a twist of hilarity.  I guess all that masturbation paid off for Shakespeare in the end.  He went through trial and tribulations through out his whole life.  A geek to the core and trying to find sex and love was difficult, with no help from his friends.  I did not have that life other than the parents being a drunk.  I was quite popular in high school.  Where you the geek or the popular one?  If you had his life would you do the same thing as him or would your life be totally different than his?  Mine would be different I would embrace the weird name and family.  I don't think I would be the geek, but I think his mom had a lot to do with his geekiness, tell you the truth.
