I am a college adjunct faculty English teacher and I wanted a simple edition with notes for my class to read in the fall.

Romeo and Juliet

I was going to order 20 of these for the class, but I am so glad I first bought one for myself. The paper edition doesn't have any spaces between the speakers, either, so it is difficult to read, even if it were written in language my students, mostly college freshmen, could easily understand. They would give up on this edition. The text underneath this edition on Amazon did NOT say that there were no notes. I am going to order something else for my class.

If you don't already know what that is, no review can help you. It is simply everything he ever wrote, from the plays to the poems. It runs the gamut.

And I confess, I didn't buy this to read, I purchased it to be a companion and reference to my collection of movies that are based on Shakespeare's plays. I am one of those people who think that the plays were meant to be viewed as a performance and not read. So it is handy to have them in written form so that you can read specific sections as you watch - but I'll never curl up in my easy chair and get lost in this book. Since I purchased this as a reference book, I was glad that there are footnotes.

And unlike other "complete works" anthologies that cram everything into one volume by making the print impossibly small, the print here is clear and large enough to really read if you want to.

This book is heavy and huge and as such, it is going to be difficult to actually read for long periods of time, unless you have a book stand that will go on your desk and hold it up for reading - otherwise your arms will get very, very tired.

It opens like a well oiled machine, with no stiffness, cracking, or fighting - you won't have to "break it in" but it cooperates from the first read!

I read this as an undergraduate in college, and found it to be fun, but now as an adult and having read all of Shakespeare's works and even other author's interpretations of Shakespeare's work such as The Tragedy of Arthur and Macbeth II: The Seed Of Banquo I find the work to be mediocre and predictable. It is effective in one major place - the fact that it made Mr. Shakespeare money, and he was well aware of what his audiences liked. That is not to say it is a bad play - it isn't at all. There are some genuinely funny places in it my favorite, " I suppose it is the grand application of the man's works that include the comedies that so uncannily resemble one another that makes readers of Shakespeare like me scratch his head.

Change the location and the character names and a couple events? New title, new play. But it is a fun story, and I would have loved to see this and all the others performed in London in , regardless.
