Top review for a book by William Shakespeare
A reader wrote a review on A Midsummer Night's Dream (The New Folger Library Shakespeare)
Having been reviewed no less than one billion times I should only like to add that I loved the story, characters, mystery and romance! Also I have never laughed so much whilst reading Shakespeare. Hilarious!...xx

Macbeth is definitely my favorite as well. I hate Romeo and Juliet though. The story line I mean. Really, why do they have to be such dramatic teenagers. Good God, everything is true love when you are that age. You morn, and then move on.

I enjoy reading and studying Shakespeare because he always shows both points of view. His work is never one dimensional and truly relevant.

there is a reason why everyother author is compared to shakespeare... he's shakespeare! his use of iambic pentameter and the way he so beautifully evoked emotions from the audiance. he understood human emotion and made it relatable to the common patons of his time and to us in modern day as well.
