Just a synopsis

I guess I should have noticed, but this is not a reading of the play or even cuttings. It is a synopsis (Plot summary) with a few quotes. The summary is OK, but don't look here for drama. If you are unfamiliar with the play and intimidated by the language, this might be a good way to hear what's going on so it is easier to read or see the real play.

Good book

Was kinda confusing, but still enjoyed it. would definitely recommend to others to read.

Not a complete reading

I bought this for my son because he needs it for his 9th grade English class. Unfortunately I did not look at the length but looked that is was unabridged. I thougth it was the full edition of the book but is was not. It only has 15 minutes of portions of the book. DO NOT BUY if you are expecting a full edition.

Very robotic

Not delivered as a play, but as a story. The narrator is too robotic sounding. It was so annoying we couldn't finish even half.

Do Not Buy!

This is a poor 10 minute recap. Do not purchase - it is not Shakespeare’s play.
