Haha! A friend of mine adored it, and I generally trust his taste, but he may've been biased by his enormous crush on Hiddles :D

I do think Shakespeare agrees with you, Coriolanus is the wartime general who isn't suited to lead in peacetime and his actions totally show that.

Yeah, agreed. Especially since a lot of Shakespearean characters (Othello, most obviously) have this problem of 'great in many ways, terrible at this specific problem.'
