Summary: Excellently written -- absolutely beautiful...
Comment: It was hard for me to put down this book. The very first time I read it, I read it straight through, unwilling to let anything stop me. Since then, I've read it and re-read it until I know the story by heart. The authors' ability to take the reader back to Elizabethan England, to Shakespeare and the Globe, to a time when taking a bath really was considered a major deal, is amazing. The style of writing is rich and elaborate -- full of life -- and it brings the characters, mortal and vampire alike, out into flesh and blood. This book is an absolute necessity for any Forever Knight fan (it can even create them) or for anyone who would like a glimpse into the mud and brocade world long gone.

Summary: An interesting approach to the vampire theme.
Comment: This book surprised me. I expected something like the hack Star Trek novels, but it's in a different class. The author has an amazing grasp of Elizabethan language and a fascinating premise: Shakespeare's new play about Hamlet, who is forced into an action he did not choose by a dominating (ghost) father is juxtaposed to Nick's relationship with his vampire "father." The subplot deals with Nick's fascination with an abused young woman, who is dying. The book could have been much better--I felt this gifted author probably had to produce it in a hurry and didn't do herself justice. She creates an excellent and believable Shakespeare and company. The book can be enjoyed both by Forever Knight fans and Shakespeare buffs.

Summary: It made me think, and use some creative energy
Comment: This book was well worth the buy. It was more intellectual then many novels of today (esp. in the genre we're talking about here). It was more beefy in content, dialect, language, and history.
I give it five stars for creative design and interaction. I was able to "believe" this could have really happened. Awesome.
If I may compare (although its a stretch) I compare this book to more of the intellectual level of "Lord of the Rings" where many others of its kind are at the "Harry potter" intellectual level. If you love to read and like Forever Knight then this book is for you. If you read just to pass the time... not a good pick.
