The Taming of the Shrew (Abridged) Audiobook

" I remember seeing a performance of this as a kid and really enjoying it. I don't remember it being quite so infuriatingly sexist. Kind of disappointing. The wordplay was nice, though, as always. "

" One of my favorite Shakespeare stories - abit sexist though! Lol. But one of the two Shakespeare heroines I had a crush on! "

" So hard to understand though! I played Hortensio and Biance :3 "

" Honestly, this may be one of Shakesphere's worst plays. "

" meh, its shakespeare always happens the same way "

" Is it horrible that I love this mysognistic comedy? Kate is just so awesome, she doesn't even have to cross dress. "

" My FAVORITE Shakespeare. If you are into an angsty girl, with a meddling and overbearing father, a prissy sister, and reservations about men... this book is for you! Sometimes being a shrew does work! "

" I laughed a lot over this book and loved the movie with Elizabeth Taylor in it........She was great. "

" This was the first Shakespeare that I read and saw. It reeled me and no matter how many times I see and read each time I notice something new. This is my favorite! "

" One of his funniest plays... though our culture today may not agree with the treatment of women in this play. "

" One of Shakespeare's comedies. This book is hilarious!!! A fun story of a man who marries a woman to spite her. And comedic genius ensues. The original romantic comedy, in Old English!!! "

" Acted this book out in class, what a riot! "

" Very comical book. Shakespeare is a true marvel when it comes to storytelling. "

" Wonderful. The interaction between the two main characters is priceless! "

" OK, read for English class. Some of the language and the story were had to follow sometimes but it was actually an OK book, and I understood it. "

" This play... bothered me. I wanted Katharina to win. It's actually quite a disturbing work. "

" I like it, even though it bugs a lot of people. If you decide that everything Petruchio and Kate do is a performance and not an expression of their true characters, the whole play goes down a little easier. "

" I find myself rereading this play every couple of years. I ADORE it. It is witty and fun and a purely enjoyable read. One of the MANY reasons why I studied literature at university. "

" primer on misogyny and sex puns. For: high school boys "

" This is one of my favorites by Shakespeare, especially for sassy ladies. :) "

" This play best exemplifies how my love life will play out. "

" The first straight comedy of Shakespeare's that I ever read. The characters and situations are hilarious, and I love the Kate and Petruchio relationship. A must read for anyone who's even remotely interested in Shakespeare! "

" I'm rating this 3-considering-it's-Shakespeare, not 3-compared-to-the-majority-of-books. It's fantastic, of course; just not among my favorites of his plays. "

" Cant give five stars to a play that encourages spousal abuse--even if its Shakespeare "

" loved 10 things i hate about you, loved this. "

" I had a hard time with the gender roles of the day. It was entertaining enough, but very sexist. "

" Such a good book! And funny in a Shakesperean sort of way. "

" i think bell shakespere's productionof this ruined the story for me. "

" The language is exquisite, as usual.The initial set-up never pays of. Kate's last speech would only make sense if a husband is perfect. I wish she could have taken that into consideration.Also, some dialogue could have done with a little more subtext. "

" funny book, in a shakespearian sense...the original bridezilla! "

" Another example of William Shakespeare's insight into human relationships. Recently saw the film version-excellent portrayal of "the shrew" by Elizabeth Taylor opposite Richard Burton-very entertaining and funny! "

" i love the book because i love the movie 10 things i hate about you (what it's based off of) but not sure about the ending... kinda iffie on that "
