I bought this for my 14 yr old and she has just fallen in love with shakespeare. She now has 4 or 5 of his titles in this form and is just enjoying them. I mean she reads them all the time for fun. And she can converse about the themes and works enough to prove to me she is learning just as much as if she read the regular version.It has lead to a love of literature from this time and has encouraged her to seek out other authers and works not in this form. Even a couple of my younger kids have picked them up. Well worth it!!!!
Even though I have read almost everything William Shakespeare wrote I have begun to read different approaches to the Bard’s work. Much of Shakespeare’s plays deal with tragedy but I just completed reading (Manga Shakespeare: A midsummer night’s dream illustrated by Kate Brown) one of his most amusing and funny plays.This was a fun read and is full of mystical fairies that just for the fun of it create strange love triangles among a group of teenagers. The mischievous fairies make a powerful love potion which creates chaos among the love interests of Hermia, Lysander, Helena and Demetrius. The fully illustrated 207 page soft cover book makes the story come alive. This is one of my favorite Shakespeare’s plays.I never like to give away too much information when reviewing any novel. Even if you have never read or seen any of Shakespeare’s plays this graphic novel is a good place to start enjoying the ancient master of poetry and prose, William Shakespeare.Rating: 5 Stars.

My 12 year old is obsessed with these books. They all have different artists which she loves and SHE IS READING SHAKESPEARE!!!!! What can I say. A wonderful way to make Shakespeare accessible to a young audience. Now my 11 and 9 year old are into them too and we now have all of them.The only reason I am giving them a 4 and not a 5 is the bindings are not the best and i have bought one twice as the pages started falling out. I know they are left out open and face down and read a LOT, but so are a lot of other books of ours and they are still intact.
I showed my students the manga versions of Shakespeare's tragedies, and several of them borrowed these editions to read overnight. I plan to keep a deep inventory of these versions in my classroom's bookshelves so that my students might continue to become "hooked on Shakespeare."
