this was a great book and i would recomend it to anybody. it's got the dey elements that kept my intrest and i have ADD so that is saying a lot

This book is the first book that turned me on to Shakespeare. Everytime I read this book, I can't put it down. I must read it over and over again!

I must say that this is my favorite of Shakespeare's works. I was drawn to the love story contained wherein. It has a touch of romance, mystery, and comedy! It is appropriate for anyone looking for a good book! It get's the Big-D seal of approval.

A Midsummer Night's Dream was my first real adventure into Shakespeare and his plays. I had read many of his sonnets and enjoyed them. But reading this play open the door to a whole world of literature that I had been waiting to read for a very long time. This play has three parts that all intertwine to a very entertaining conclusion. I, unlike some of my friends, find Shakespeare's use of 'flowery' language boring. I find his use of the English language to be the tie that holds this work together and without it junior and high schools students, like myself, would not be required to read it every year. This is the kind of Shakespeare play where there's something for everyone. There's fights and leud remarks for the boys and fairies and love for the girls (Sorry for the sterotype but these are what boys and girls usually connect with while reading A Midsummer Night's Dream). Overall I found this book to be a great introduction into Shakespeare's comedies and since I finished it I have read Twelth Night, Much Ado About Nothing, and Hamlet but the comedies still hold a lot over the tradgedies.

An excellent piece of romantic comedy for all lovers regardless of age. A piece of work done by William Shakespeare that could be viewed by the whole family and almost anyone. The performance acted by the craftsmen "Pyramus&Thsbe" is similar to the romantic tradegy production Romeo & Juliet. A Midsunner night's Dream tells us of 2 star-crossed lover whose obsticles are Egeus(Hermia's father), Demetrius(Hermia's lover) and the Athenian's law imposed by Theseus(Duke of Athens) The lover's Lysander&Hermia are added with more complications by the fairy world.when Puck mistakenly placed the love-potion onto the eyes of Lysander instead of Demetrius. This stikes a love triangle between Lysander,Demetrius and Helena. Whatsoever,the play ended happily and is compromised by the comedic performance of the craftsmen. A piece of work that should be view and read by people of all ages and race.
