I bought this for my Shakespeare class. Hell no I am not reading the original edition in hard to read language. This has a simple version next to it in PLAIN english so I can comprehend what the story is actually about instead of dozing off as i take in zero. It made me appreciate Shakespeare and enjoy this story. I used it for a college class (non-english majors) and I passed all quizzes and was able to discuss what happened and identify quotes. PLUS there is the original version on the page next to it. When the teacher asked what we thought the line meant I always had the answer.This makes me ENJOY the story, PASS the class and save TIME. Get this series for each adn every shakespear book.
I wish they had a kindle edition, but hey this book is awesome on the left page you have a page of the play as is while on the right side is a very simplified and modern translation. its awesome for when there's a long paragraph that starts to lose you on what it is exactly that's being said. if you need to read this for school i definitely recommend the made easy version
I have my degree in English... I like reading and teaching with this version as "help" not as a substitution. It gives a clearer understanding to Shakespeare for people who have difficulty with it.
Book arrived before expected, in a great condition..I'll will decently buy again. Five star review..Excellent
Easy to read, Shakespeare is understandable! Perfect for youth and adults!
