"Hands down my favorite historic play by Shakespeare. Very dramatic, with a young king still coming to grips with what he has had to give up to be king, and what he must do to cement his leadership. Fantastic quotes - so many memorable lines. " — Kindle-aholic (5 out of 5 stars)

" Thx to Jarod Chin :) "
" I read this only a couple years ago, and I don't remember much about it. I guess it didn't make that big of an impression. Didn't love it, didn't hate it - neutral. "
" *Read for school*Started out not sure what to think, but ended up loving it. Brilliantly written play, and I loved a lot of the speeches in it. It's really long though. Took a long time to read. "
" Ok, so, originally i thought it was okay. Then, I watched the movie where Lockhart played as Hal, and Trewlany as the princess, and I LOVED IT. SO MUCH INTRIGUE! "
" Stick to the comedy Willy Shakes. "
" This portrayal of the king has to be one of the most powerful study in character in all of WS's work. My favorite play. "
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.
