FABULOUS I was impressed by the value and quality of this book.... Outstanding!!!!
A great book, it includes all the famous plays such at Romeo and Juliet, and Hamlet, and all of his others. It also includes shakespeares sonnets, which themselves are great. If Shakespeare hadn't written such good plays he'd be famous for his sonnets alone. It is a must have for the drama lover. Or the poetry lover.
William Shakespeare's works make sense out of what it is to be alive. They cover every facet of the human condition, and include some of the most beautiful poetry ever written. Nobody should ever go through life without reading these incredible plays. And this edition is an excellent choice; it's not overpriced, it's thorough and clear; and unlike many collections of Shakespeare's Complete Works, you can pick it up and read it without breaking your arm. Highly, highly recommended.
Extra-condensed and unnaproachable Brian Kendig's previous review says it all, but I wanted to add a caveat to a still-potential buyer: the text is so incredibly condensed that the endings of some of the longer lines are scrunched up in awkward brackets in the white space above, making for a disjointed reading of an already unapproachable edition. (Please read the previous review--it's quite helpful.)
There are some problems about the book Well, the book contents are strictly what the cover tells, there are no kind of studies or comments about Shakespeare's works, you will find only the pure texts of each story. Other negative point of the book is its huge size, what makes the reading feasible probably only inside your house; and the tiny letters, what really handicaps the reading. If you are not going to read every Shakespeare's work don't buy this book, prefer another one.
Nice for the price Let's face it, there are better editions of Shakespeare out there. You get what you pay for. This is not a top of the line leather edition. For the price, though, you can't beat it. It is what it is, a reasonably priced leather edition of his complete works. No household should be without one.
