Customer Reviews
Even though I have read almost everything William Shakespeare wrote I have begun to read different approaches to the Bard’s work. Much of Shakespeare’s plays deal with tragedy but I just completed reading (Manga Shakespeare: A midsummer night’s dream illustrated by Kate Brown) one of his most amusing and funny plays.This was a fun read and is full of mystical fairies that just for the fun of it create strange love triangles among a group of teenagers. The mischievous fairies make a powerful love potion which creates chaos among the love interests of Hermia, Lysander, Helena and Demetrius. The fully illustrated 207 page soft cover book makes the story come alive. This is one of my favorite Shakespeare’s plays.I never like to give away too much information when reviewing any novel. Even if you have never read or seen any of Shakespeare’s plays this graphic novel is a good place to start enjoying the ancient master of poetry and prose, William Shakespeare.Rating: 5 Stars.
