"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." — Aprile (4 out of 5 stars)

" 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! "
" This was pretty good for a old book! (i read it in 7th grade) "
" The play was cute. I liked the fairies, but it really lacked substance. The more Shakespeare I read the less I like. "
" One of my personal favorite plays. The Elizabethan humor of this play is still pertinent today and still speaks about the fickleness of love. "
" Far more enjoyable without the pressure of Mr. Howe demanding us to ask questions about it. "
" One of the only Shakespeare plays I really, truly love. (I know, I know, I'm a terrible English major.) "
" This was my first Shakespeare book and I actually liked it a lot. "
" I throughly enjoyed the name's of the fairies throughout this book. Shakespeare is a genius. "
" Bahan kuliah Pak Ono sepertinya. "
" again, i liked this play, but hs killed it. "
" 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). "
" The funniest Shakespeare play written. "
" Uno dei miei libri preferiti di Shakespeare!!! "
" I love Shakespeare's comedies :) "
" 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. "
" Wow, I got lost in this. A book with love and fairies I love it. "
" wonderful childish and enchanting "
" Interesting, a bit confusing at times, but thats to be expected. "
" I loved it! I am excited that we are performing it in our Shakespeare class! "
" I thought this was a really fun play! My professor provided a feminist reading for it, and I found that take to be pretty interesting. "
" Acted in it. (Titania) "
" A magical and light love story with humor. "
" this book is hilarious! this entire play expresses Shakespeare's imagination as a writer; the play is extremely delightful by all of the chaos that was created especially when the fairies intervened! i loved it! my fave character was Nick Bottom and Robin! "
" This is absolutely my favorite Shakespeare play, as those of you who read my novel, Hanging On, might already know. The movie rocked, too, and not just because it had Michelle Pfeiffer. "
" An amusing read, and proof that Shakespeare could write in so many different styles and subjects. "
" As with Twelfth Night, I've seen this in a few too many amateur productions. But still. "
" I prefer post modern literature, didn't he get flunkies to write half his stuff? hmm "
" Tragedy ages better than comedy. Blasphemy, I know. It's Shakespeare, but still. "
" this is my fav play love it!!! "
" The best Shakespeare comedy ever! "
" My favorite of all Shakespeare's plays! "
" It had a few parts in it that made me laugh. It's just so hard to understand Shakespeare lol. That's why I gave it a little lower of a rating. But it was still good. "
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.
