Spanking Shakespeareby Jake Wiener

I can say that I am glad that I chose this book to be my last one in my class for the blog. I started with uncertainty and ended up learning much just by reading books. I don't really understand the male species yet and I really don't expect to ever understand them. But with this book I do realize that most men do only have one thing on their mind and that is usually sex. You may find one that is like Shakespeare that is awkward and ends up finding true love. I also think it is some what funny that he had two friends that are the complete opposite of him. Neither one of them were shy or awkward with themselves. They made notice of themselves every chance they could. Kind of sounds like me when I was in High school. The loud bellowed at the end of the hall and everyone turns around to see whats up! As for the prom night, I just wanted to smack Shakespeare in the head and tell him, "Wake up". Then he did. It gave me goose bumps and you will see when you read it. My favorite part of the book was all his memoir's. Some where just down right hilarious and also the poem he wrote for his first girlfriend. I hope you enjoy laughing, because that is exactly what you will do.
I think it's interesting that the novel was written by a male. Do you think that made his characters more believable? Do you think that Shakespeare was 2-dimensional, or was there more to him than just his sex drive?
