Measure for Measure Audiobook

" This is probably my favorite Shakespeare play so far. It's not that dark but there's a lot of deceit and trickery. There's also humor and a lot of ridiculousness. Some parts were hard to understand but I still got the gist of the story. "

" My last Shakespeare tutorial play. This is the first Shakespeare play I didn't like. I didn't like the plot, hated the end. Only Shakespeare's ability with words made it readable. "

" It was an okay read. Not bad at all. "

" While I am not the biggest Shakespeare fan, he does have an understanding of the human heart and, when I can understand him, portray it well; both on paper and stage. Although a well known or commonly known piece well worth at least a read. "

" I love a good bed-trick! "

" This was kinda funny, but all over the place. "

" I read this for a Theatre class. It was alright, but definitely not one of my favorites from Shakespeare. "

" To this day I could not tell you what this play is about. I read it for a university course but my brain retained nothing from it. "

" I think this is referred to as one of the "problem" plays, in that some of the characters behave nastily without punishment. It's one of my favorites. "

" I read this for a 17th Century literature class and didn't think I would enjoy it, but I did end up loving it. Not my favourite Shakespeare play, but the character of Isabella is very interesting. "

" i liked this...but i'm wondering if it was the company with whom i read it! :) "

" Lesser Shakes, but still Shakes. "

" Lucio is one of my favourite Shakespearean characters, and I especially love his beautiful speech to Isabella about her brother's supposed crime. "

" I adore Shakespeare. His work is pure beauty. I can't recommend his works enough. "

" Good student edition of a great play. "

" I don't care who wrote it (see the new movie "Anonymous"), this is just great writing--and still very much to the point, after all these centuries! "

" I did not enjoy this play. I could not find the comedy within this supposed comedy. Maybe I just coudn't get into it or reading it after my two favorite comedies by Shakespeare just destroyed Measure For Measure for me but it probably won't be on my "I must read again" list. "

" I'll be honest, it's probably my least favorite of Shakespeare's plays so far. I even liked Twelfth Night better, and for me, that's saying something. It's as if he wrote a couple of fantastic scenes, and then did a terrible job of stringing them all together. "

" Not quite a comedy, more like a tragedy with a happy ending. "

" This is supposed to be a comedy? Agh. These people are rotten. "

" One of those Shakespeare plays that I read so fast and am not quite sure I fully understood. "

" I liked perhaps because its so different from other plays I have read by Shakespeare. Very dark and cynical yet with its lighter mometns too. "

" This is definitely a problem play, but I found it a very enjoyable one. It is very bawdy, but that's part of the point--throughout the play moral ideals of love and virtue are intertwined with the sex and corruption. "

" W.S. understood power politics and sexual coercion like nobody since. "

" A tale of moral dilemma for every generation. Still, it left me a little disatisified, as I struggle to believe that some of the characters would really behave the way Shakespeare pictured them. "

" Interesting, and I liked the plot. I don't remember a lot of it, so this must be another one of those Shakespeare plays that I didn't love but didn't hate. "

" Useful edition of a great play. Let's hope the production I'm about to see is worthy of it. "

" I'll be honest, it's probably my least favorite of Shakespeare's plays so far. I even liked Twelfth Night better, and for me, that's saying something. It's as if he wrote a couple of fantastic scenes, and then did a terrible job of stringing them all together. "

" Really enjoyed it. First Play I had to read for my first Upper division class =D "

" This is by far my all time favorite play by Shakespeare. A truly deviant storyline and someday I will modernize it. "

" Meh. Not my favorite Shakespeare play. It had its moments, but... meh. "

" I saw this one performed and liked it a lot better. "

" An extraordinary play! One of Shakespeare's best, and that's something indeed! "

" A truly amusing play, though not amusing in the way most people would find something funny. Lots of fun to read and even more fun to see! "
