When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Review
Simon Forman has lived a shadowy existence in the margins of historical and literary studies for centuries now. If for no other reason, he would be important as the man who provides us with the first reliable accounts of some of Shakespeare's plays. His writings were also the source for A L Rowse's characteristically tendentious claim to have identified the Dark Lady of the Sonnets as Emilia Lanier. What Cook shows in her splendidly readable book is that Forman in fact has considerable importance in his own right. He was, in his combination of roguishness and intellectual seriousness, in his obsession with astrology and contemporary medicine, an emblematic figure of an extraordinary age. Whether he is casting horoscopes or mixing potions for his consultations - and he frequently did both simultaneously - or probing the gynaecological problems of his female patients, there is a ceaselessly inquisitive mind at work. The word 'probing' here is not accidental, for a consultation with a female patient very often didn't stop with the disposition of the stars and the requisite tinctures. As he makes abundantly clear he is often sought for, and frequently succeeded in, 'haleking' them. It is not necessary to be a master of crypto-analysis to work out what he meant. He does seem to have haleked an extraordinary number. These days he'd be struck off the medical register, assuming he'd ever got on it. Forman's London, like that of Pepys or Boswell, thrives in all its disreputableness. It shouts and dances and stinks. We are treated to an account of how Forman carefully plants sweet-smelling camomile 'near to the privy', to make the journeyings there seem less insalubrious. Cook's book is both a superb biography in its own right and a very good introduction to Elizabethan medicine, with its constant, curious cross-overs into astrology. She is perhaps unduly sympathetic to some of Rowse's clamorous assertions, and a little over-confident in her statements about the School of Night, the intellectual circle around Sir Walter Raleigh - both the name and even the existence of which remain conjectural - but these are minor faults in a highly enjoyable and richly-researched book.
