I was kindly given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
“Hang Shakespeare: but not DeVere, a True story mystery solved” is a gripping conspiracy book with so much evidence. It’s thought provoking, Ingenious in construction, indefatigably entertaining and crammed with facts and solid arguments, it grabs the reader’s curiosity on the very first page and never lets go.
The book’s idea sparkled in the author’s mind after watching a documentary with his wife, that was titled "nothing is truer than truth", he later starts looking into the authorship of Shakespeare, and finds his first clue in the introduction to the first folio written by Ben Jonson which clearly says: "hang Shakespeare".

Robert’s achievement was to convince the reader to look more into the authorship even after 400+ years from the death of William Shakespeare. He takes us way back to the past to meet our “Shakespeares” analyze their motives, level of education, handwriting, their mental state and more aspects of their lives. By the end, all of the documents and clues we were presented indicate one truth, and that truth is that Edward DeVere, 17th Earl of Oxford is the real author of the sonnets and plays, not Shakespeare.
The book encourages the readers to look more outside of it and investigate the mystery by themselves. I admit I still have a lot of research to do to know for sure where I stand in the Shakespearean dilemma.
The author’s good quality writing, his plausible narrative and humor made this book a hard to put down/ stop listening to. His research is obviously careful which gives his prose great authenticity. The book is well worth the effort.
The audiobook had me glued to my desk chair and I adored the quarantine song at the end of it.
At last, “Hang Shakespeare” is a book that made me think deeply about the other mysteries that lurk in our history and are forgotten about or remained unsolved.
Time is the grand scheme that leaves a lot of mysteries unfold.
Rate: 5/5

I was kindly given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I couldn’t keep this book a secret. So far, I’ve told everyone I know about it, my classmates, my family and even strangers on the internet! 😊 It’s a book you can’t keep a secret.
The book starts from the present and then dives into the past then back to the present, it shines light on the characters and their growth within the 4 years that came in between.
I listened to it two times to get a strong hold on the events and not miss a single thing.
I'll start first by compliment Elsa Joseph’s incredible delightful writing style and the voice actors who perfectly narrated this book that at one point I wasn't just sitting on my chair, I was travelling with Natasha and Tony to Paris, I was partying with their families, I was their invisible guest watching and observing them as they went on their daily lives reading through every and each movement they made.
This is a beautifully written book, dazzling and uplifting, with a hint of mystery. Full of secrets that will turn your head around, no doubt!
I did love this book; I do love this book so much that a part of me believes its characters are alive somewhere and they’re breathing and having their tea peacefully as I’m typing these words right now. Natasha reminded me so much of myself, being the strong woman, she has always been, ever moving forward, giving so much of herself to others. I did get mad at her for using Luke, lying to him then leaving him, but by my second time listening to the book I realized that the heart wants what it wants and can’t be questioned or blamed. In a love triangle someone always loses.
This story really hits me hard because of two reasons. The first is the concept of everlasting love, seeing how deeply Tony and Natasha felt for each other, it made me wonder if anyone will ever love me like that, wait for me and help me get though my inner battles that I don't let anyone witness. Will I ever find someone who I will love so deeply that I'd run away with the day I give my oath to another man? The relationship between Tony and Natasha is so precious and idyllic, something I could never imagine myself having.
The second idea was how well portrayed Tony's struggle with Bulimia nervosa was, it reminded me of my own battle with it. How he used to vomit after every meal, how he hid his sickness and never wanted anyone to know about it or see him struggle even his soulmate. It all hit me way too deep and made me feel so grateful for winning the battle against it, having to deal with the pain no more. This novel is one of the very few novels I read that acknowledges Bulimia and do it justice. I really hope the people who read this book become more aware of how dangerous Bulimia can get and how badly it affects one's well-being, relationships and health.
I felt so much for Luke, but -even though this might sound selfish in a way- I’m glad Natasha has finally found her happiness.
