This was very good. It was especially cool to see random English phrases come out of it like "brevity is the soul of wit".

Read for ENG 334. I would almost give this 4 stars. I liked it better than anything else I’ve read by Shakespeare, but I still wouldn’t ever read it for fun

OH LOOK - another book that I was forced to read in school... guess what that means? I hated it. LOL. Now, don't get me wrong, Shakespeare isn't for everyone anyways, but I absolutely LOVED the Merchant of Venice, when I had to read that in grade 9 (2003). Romeo and Juliet is even good, in my books. Actually, King Lear too! But this? No thank you.

I had no idea Shakespeare had such witty humor! It’s crazy that I hadn’t read any of his work until now, and I’m gonna be an English major in the fall.
