"I didn't actually read this particular edition, but "Amazon Kindle Free Edition" wasn't exactly listed. Before reading this play on my kindle, I had never read a Shakespeare play just for fun on my own. For the other times, it was always for a class. I shook my head when I heard about my classmates who read Shakespeare for fun, and did this more than once! Long story short, I was searching for free books for my kindle on Amazon, and I found A Midsummer Night's Dream. I enjoyed it thoroughly."

    " What a great and entertaining story! Absolutely loved it. And it is even easier than The Tempest - or am I just getting used to the Shakespeare language?? Awesome play. Fantastic characters. Just really, really enjoyable! "

    " One of my personal favorite plays. The Elizabethan humor of this play is still pertinent today and still speaks about the fickleness of love. "

    " Since I only read The Metamorphoses a couple of days ago I rather enjoyed the Midsummer Night's Dream's version of Pyramus and Thisbe, it's nice to see how older works are re-interpreted (even, or perhaps: especially, if as clumsily as these players do it). "

    " I felt like I practically knew the play after all of the myriad of references and quotations that other genres have used from Midsummer Night's Dream. It still keeps in magic, despite having been over-referenced in some cases. "

    " Very disappointing. This is comedy? I only laughed twice (at the misuse of big words by one of the "actors" in the play-within-the-play, which was also mildly amusing in its good-natured bumbling). But as for the main plot: petty, not funny. "

About William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare (1564–1616), English poet and dramatist of the Elizabethan and early Jacobean period, is the most widely known author in all of English literature and often considered the greatest. He was an active member of a theater company for at least twenty years, during which time he wrote many great plays. Plays were not prized as literature at the time and Shakespeare was not widely read until the middle of the eighteenth century, when a great upsurge of interest in his works began that continues today.
