Loading... Shakespeare Undeadby Lori Handeland
None.  marysneedle | Mar 27, 2013 |  I love these type of books. So when I came across this one on sale I had to grab it. Even though I really enjoy these books, I didn’t really have any expectations going into this one. They can be very hit or miss. So because of that, part of me was surprised at just how much I liked it and another part of me was wondering why I was so surprised. Shakespeare Undead is so well written that you are pulled in from the first page. I loved Kate. She is so brave and strong. We need more characters like her. I wish I was like her. I also loved Will. He actually had me laughing out loud and that doesn’t happen too often while reading. If you haven’t read this book, you need to go get it right now. You wont regret it. I will be getting the next book,Zombie Island as soon as I can. (  ) TheBookHoarder | Jan 7, 2013 | Well written, but at times super cheesy. In the zombies/vampires/werewolves/misc monsters-added-to-literature-or-historical-stories genre this is a pretty good story. There is some racy romancing going on but it's not total smut. The only thing that really bothered me was the constant use of obvious/famous quotes from Shakespeare and other authors we're supposed to believe are also his work later in his vampire life. (  ) lizzybeans11 | Mar 7, 2012 | Liked the originality of this story. The explanation of how Shakespeare got his play ideas and the incorporation of his plays into the story was fun for a fan of his work. Will probably read the next one. (  ) andsoitgoes | Mar 6, 2012 | This was a really fun read. Being a "fan" of Shakespeare it was a fresh way to see how some of the themes of his plays were inspired by his vampirism and hunt for zombies. In someways it reminded me of the film, "Shakespeare in Love," but done with a unique twist. ( ) dduning | Jul 20, 2011 | no reviews | add a review

The only fault I found in the book is that during the first occurrence of a conflict between Kate and a zombie, Kate kicks him in his private parts which causes the zombie to fall to the ground clutching his same parts. It is later mentioned in the book that zombies do not feel pain. I'm not sure if it was later decided that zombies do not feel pain in the development of the story and this was just a possible over sight that was missed during proofing.
Other than that I really loved the book. (
