4.0 out of 5 stars good intro to Shakespeare and love, June 22, 2000

By	Judith C. Coleman (Iowa City, IA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a tie-in with the movie, this is a pretty great book. As a book of Shakespeare's sonnets and love poetry, it's not the best. It's a good book to own if you really enjoyed the movie or are just getting introduced to Shakespeare.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice book .... funny, funny comments by Amazon Readers, April 5, 1999

By A Customer

Funny, I always thought the purpose of poetry was to say in verse which cannot be said any other way. Sure, poetry CAN be pretty, and soothing, and serene --- but NEED NOT be !!

Why do poets use metaphors? To confuse? No, but to reveal .... same with poetry, and music, and literature, and ... oh, you get it ....

Buy the book, relish in the movie, return to the source, the Bard. If it takes fragmented verse to take in the whole, so be it ....

... makes a nice Valentines's Day gift ...

5.0 out of 5 stars If you loved the movie, you'll love the book., March 2, 1999

By	will@m-m-s.com (southfieldm michigan) - See all my reviews

This book feels as good in your hands as the film felt in your heart. Wonderful sepiatone photographs from the film are intertwined with passages from Shakespeares's sonnets, plays and poems. Read it from front to back, open it anywhere, it's a "little touch of Shakespeare in the night" when the night was made for lovers.
