4.0 out of 5 stars This book is imajinitive and wonderful, February 7, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: All the Love Poems of Shakespeare (Paperback)

Shakespeare was one of the most imajinitive writers ever known on earth. He wrote what he thought in a very nice way. All of the fine poems I have read of shakespeare's are the best I have ever read in my life ! Unsuprisingly, his plays hit top market back in shakespeare's day. The thing I like most about shakespeare's writing is that he just used his imagination, and wrote what he thought would be nice to show to the public. Thank you for reading my review , your young reader, Kathryn Kimmel:):-)
