I always get the Arden editions of Shakespeare. They are very detailed and user friendly.

Being one of Shakespeare's early plays the plot is a little inconsistant. It seems in the last scene that shakespeare just wanted to finish the play and therefore everything happens in a few pages that makes it a little unrealistic.

The play does have some lovely speeches though, and is quite comical and an easy story to follow.

This is one of Shakespeare's earlier plays, and so it is not as sophisticated or as polished as some of his later ones are. The play is about love, and the major cause of discord is the two differing varieties of love that are portrayed. This is one of Shakespeare's shorter plays, and certainly worth reading if only to see how far Shakespeare went from where he started.

I only had one problem which was with the delivery. It was delivered to my house when no one was at home and my dog decided to open the package before I arrived, she caused some damage to the book.
