"You wouldn't think that star wars and shakespeare mix, but in reality it's a winning combination (just like hamilton and rap). I never appreciated shakespearean english before, but this was a really fun and amusing book. Lots of clever dialogue and cool asides. Now I'm thinking maybe I should give ol' william one more shot."
