I liked The Clouds a lot, but I think this translation ruined it for me. I forgot my book at my parents house, so I read the free kindle edition instead that had a different translation. Maybe I'll the ther translation better.

A skillful translation of a hilarious play-- the translator was quite successful in carrying over the humour, puns especially (which are notoriously difficult to relay between languages, but abound with a clarity that's not cheap so much as accessible, here).

I've performed this translation twice now, and recommend it for complete or partial performances, fully staged or stripped down to plain audio.

3.5 stars

I still don't really know what to think of this play. Unlike the other plays I've recently read, I have seen this one preformed, which only adds to my confusion. Hopefully class will make my feelings for it more clear.
I neither like nor dislike the play.
