Author: William Shakespeare
Rating: Middle shelf
William Shakespeare's comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream is a magical tale for everyone. Shakespeare created a whole new world full of mischief and magic that everyone will find funny! This is not the easiest read though, it is still in traditional Shakespearean English that can be hard to interpret and will probably require you to look some terms up. I suggest acting it out if possible! It is much more fun that way and it is easier to follow the story and understand what is happening with so many characters and so many plot lines at the same time.
I rated this book a "Middle Shelf" because I am a large Romeo and Juliette fan and I found myself to be disappointed in this book because I was expecting something more like R&J. However, I thought in general it was a good book and I would still recommend it to others!!
Go grab a copy to act out now!!! Happy acting!!
Only read below if you have read the book!!!!!
If you haven't read the book turn back now!!!
I just wanted to talk a little bit about characters in my post. My favorite couple was Hermia and Lysander. That had a similar vibe to Romeo and Juliette which is why I think I enjoyed them the most.
My favorite part of the story was most definitely the cat fight between Hermia and Helena!! It was hysterical to hear what insults they were calling each other and listening to them try to sort out what exactly had happened with the men and their infatuation with Helena after the love potion was accidentally used on them. And of course I love a happily ever after, so that made me a happy camper!!!
Who was your favorite character and what was your favorite part of the story?? Let me know in the comments!!!
Happy reading!!
