The story amused me greatly until irrelevant characters started pouring onto the page. I sometimes couldn't tell who was who because I lost interest at such a large cast. The ending was also anitclimatic, at best.

The last 30 pages took me way too long to read :/ But I really liked this. It's always so fascinating to read a Shakespeare play and find one or more of the quotes that are so popular online lmao. This particular version was also very accessible

I can say wholeheartedly that this is the best Shakespeare play that I have read/watched. Surprisingly funny, mixed with a blend of serious racial discourse that does not appear to take itself too seriously anyways. Would recommend for people that find Shakespeare overpowering, as this is just a play of good fun

I don’t feel equipped to rate Shakespeare. Instead I will note my progress, it is getting easier to read Shakespeare without looking up every footnote and comment. My favorite moments are the funny things I might have missed

(Act 2 Scene 2 -
“Thou art very Trinculo indeed. How
cam’st thou to be the siege of this mooncalf? Can he vent Trinculos?”)

And stumbling on bits of Shakespeare referenced elsewhere.
