I just finished this book. Overall, I liked it more for the writing style, rich vocabulary and incredible metaphors and similes than for the plot.

Oh, the plot is wacky enough: old documents point to an undiscovered Shakespeare play. An IP lawyer, budding screenwriter, Jesuit street thug, Polish ex-spy and cryptographer, Russian-Jewish-Israeli mafia, and a mystery girl or two all race to find it. I was just a little tired of it about 2/3 the way through, however.

Then along would come a description about a leather seat "as soft as girls" and I'd be ready to read on!

Overall, it's worth a read.
