Shakespeare on Toast: Getting a Taste for the Bard by Ben Crystal
4.0
The book is great and I will recommend it every student always and forever.
It give you the handiwork to understand Shakespeare without dumbing down the text, which in my opinion is very important. We have to take the fear of Shakespeare from the students. He's not that hard to understand but you have to work a bit to get him.
Don't be afraid, he was a human being after all^^
Especially the last scenes with his analysis of a scene from the Scottish play is awesome. He shows you how to decode Shakespeare for yourself and makes the text more interesting than just the dialogue. There's so much more in Shakespeare's plays than only difficult words and weird structures.
