Shakespeare Reference in Celebrity Crimes: The Dark Side Of The Limelight

Xavier Waterkeyn’s Celebrity Crimes: The Dark Side Of The Limelight is a poorly written book, which clearly no one bothered to proofread. The number of errors in the book is incredible. You have the word “an” when “and” was meant, and “and” when “an” is needed. And check out this sentence: “She went back to school while her parents fought out a custody battle over her and her younger brother Paul during a nasty custody battle that their father finally won” (p. 228). Yikes! But this book also contains a Shakespeare reference. Regarding the attack on Theresa Saldana, Waterkeyn writes: “Fenn looked out from his second-floor balcony and looked down on a group of people circled around a man and woman struggling on the ground in the middle of the street. ‘I saw everyone kind of watching it like it was a, you know, Shakespearean play or something’” (p. 105).

Celebrity Crimes: The Dark Side Of The Limelight was published in 2007.
