King Lear by William Shakespeare

4.0

---

I ended up loving the story in this book, but it was by far the most difficult one of Shakespeare's works I've read yet, and it took a little deciphering to get the meaning out of the words. It had just enough hope where you forget it's a tragedy, and then it dumps buckets of sadness on you when you least expect it. I really did not think this would be an enjoyable reading experience, but it was! 4.2 stars.
