Shakespeare's Secret Book Review

As a fan of Shakespeare's work, I really enjoyed this story.  What I liked was the mixture of fiction with the legend and history of Shakespeare.  It was nicely woven and I never felt like I was being beaten over the head with a history lesson.  I also loved the character of Hero.  While she had the insecurities of a child, she had a quiet strength to her that would seep out every once in a while.  After all, all "heroes" have some sort of insecurity, right?  It's what they do despite them that makes them a hero.  And can I say, I loved that fact that our heroine's name was Hero.
