The interception of a Shakespeare play involving the Trojan War is an interesting idea in itself. But....sooooo boring. I must be a failed English Lit major for finding it so tiresome and a drag.

I really didn't like this one. It was a little to philosophical for me to enjoy.

One of my least favorite Shakespeare plays. This play is more philosophical than the tragedies at times, and is one of the few more suitable to reading than performing.

If you like Shakespeare, you should definitely read from Arden's. Their gloss/introduction/ending notes are always very very helpful.Troilus wasn't bad.

This play was very funny, especially when Thersites is explaining why everyone is a fool. There is one very large disappointment though. (Spoilers follow.) The story ends with the death of Hector! Not Troilus, not Cressida, nor Diomedes! This would not be so terrible, but this is the exact reason that I dislike the Iliad. It ended not with Achilles' death, but with Hector's and I could not believe that Shakespeare would do the same thing with his retelling of the tale!

You really have to be passionate about Shakespeare to love his work. This book was all over the place and difficult to keep together as a complete storyline. It boasts one of his most difficult pieces and whoever said that was not wrong. I wouldn't recommend for light reading.
