I am a huge fan of Shakespeare, but the only problem is the Shakespearian language. When my family and I visited Shakespeare's house, we saw this book and bought it. Once I started reading it, I fell in LOVE with it! The book is set up like a comic book, so there are pictures of the characters "acting" out the play. Under the illustrations, there is a summary (by Marcia Williams). In the comic strip, the "actors" sometimes quote some of Shakespeare's lines. To the left and right of the comic strip, there are "play-goers" who tell the reader what they think of what's happening. The book has 7 plays and when you read them, you can understand what's happening at the same time as feel as though you're there. There is also a second book (I think it's called More Shakespeare plays) and if you liked this book, then I highly recommend it!
