Hilarious as usual. Watched movies 1 and 2 again, and this book follows it perfectly. Even makes allusions to the second movie.
There are so many hidden references and jokes. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoyed the movie.

Have you ever wondered what the 80s cult classic, Back to the Future would be like if it were written by Shakespeare? Yea I never wondered that either but here we are. Surprisingly this was an entertaining listen. I found it rather funny and enjoyable. I'm not a fan of Shakespeare-type writing because it just confuses me but since I know the story and I was listening to it, I was able to understand what was happening with all its odd language. If you ever want a very odd but also funny reading experience because you love Back to the Future or Shakespeare, then I suggest checking this one out.

So funny! Love all the Easter eggs and hilarious references. These Shakespeare retellings of classic movies are hilarious. Can you imagine if Doescher did one of Gone With the Wind? (“By my troth, Scarlett, I’ll not give a damn!”)

This is a delightful little book! I enjoyed the little additions and Shakespearean iambic pentameter adjustments to the text. Clever and nostalgic.

I like both of these concepts...but separately. Together it was just too much. DNF.

Marty tis saved. ~ I'm a big fan of anything pertaining to Shakespearean-esque language, and to see one of my favorite childhood films in action was like a daydream.

This is a very clever, fun book. I’m glad I listened to it as an audiobook because hearing a cast of characters tell the story was great, although the voices of Marty and Doc Brown started to grate on me. I especially loved the little nods to the film’s soundtrack, and was really impressed with the fact that it felt like Shakespeare’s voice throughout, down to the iambic pentameter, even as the subject matter was decidedly modern.
