Summary: A Midsummer Night's Read
Review: Take an enchanted forest in Athens, Greece. Add six actors and two quarrelsome couples. The end result is William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Mischievious fairies, magical potions, and tragic comedies all come into the mix creating a play that will have you thinking in verse for months. If you are desperately looking for a book that actually won't put you to slep, this book may be the cure you were looking for. This is a book you will never forget.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of Shakespeare's Best-Known Comedies.
Review: This is a great play to introduce young people to the wonderful world of Shakespeare. There are fairies and elves galore in it, as well as some very wonderful characters. It is also extremely funny, albeit the humour has Shakespeare's characteristic bawdiness. What makes this play special though is Shakespeare's wonderful poetry where he skillfully mixes characters from Greek mythology with Elizabethan craftsmen. This play is a comic parody on Shakespeare's famous Romeo and Juliet where he depicts a pair of tragic star-crossed lovers. In this play there are actually five sets of ill-assorted lovers. And his characters! Who has not heard of the wonderful Puck? And what about Nick Bottom and Hermia? This is a wonderful, funny and beautifully crafted play.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I loved it
Review: This is one of my favorite Shakespears.. I loved it! It's witty, smart and light hearted unlike many of his other works. If you think Shakespeare might be too heavy for you, try this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Midsummer Night's Read
Review: Well, there are numerous reasons you wouldn't want to buy this book. Number one it's shakespear which is literally a different language. If you're not familiar with it, you will hate this book. The author did put a page in every other page giving meanings of different texts and terms, though. The good thing is it reads fast. And for anyone who thinks comedy. Not what you're thinkin. In drama terms a comedy is a play with a happy ending. A funny play wold be a farse. Soo it's not really even the least bit funny if that's what ur thinkin. The book as a whole is pretty short if you take out the definition pages and explanations of different things. Maybe about a 100. Really though, unless you have to for school don't waste any time on this book.
