Today's Inquirer reviews ...

... Carlin Romano considers two views of what was on Shakespeare's mind: The readiness to deconstruct is all.

... and, having got my thoughts and feelings about The Road off my chest, I again sound a positive note - regarding Elmore Leonard: The keen-eyed storyteller spins another tall one.

... Katie Haegele turns in a comprehensive look at Chuck Palahniuk's latest: Spreading rabies and an odd sort of wisdom.

... Katie's DigitaLit column takes a look at a new approach to history: The April 16 Archive tells a new kind of Virginia Tech story.

... Speaking of history, Nick Sarantakes weighs in on a book that considers one of history's dominating themes: A wide-ranging, stimulating treatise on the why of war.

... Jen Miller has mixed feelings about Iain Hollingshead's Twentysomething: Juvenile silliness, shallow seriousness.

... Paula Marantz Cohen ponders How to Hepburn: What Kate could teach us.

... and Sandy Bauers listens to a Disturbing tale about a xenophobic town, interned Japanese.

During the past week ...

... Sarah Weinman did a nicely nuanced review of Nathan Englander's debut novel: Early Roth echoes in ambitious novel.

... and Donna Fiedler was largely impressed by Alan Rucker's response to a grim blow from fate: Book Review | Coping with a wild wheelchair ride.
