Twelfth Night Audiobook

" Still funny every time I read it. Glad Colin had to read it for his English class. "

" One of my favourite Shakespeare's comedies. "

" This is my favorite Shakespeare play. I highly recommend it :) My class watched the movie version as well (the one with Helena Bonham Carter), and I thought it was fantastic. "

" It was good, not my favorite edition of the book, but it was required for class. "

" My favourite Shakespeare, Viola is my favourite character and I love the mixture of comedy and romance. "

" My least-favorite Shakespeare play, full of incomprehensibly mean and shallow people. Blah. "

" He's a man dressed up like a woman and they fall in love while a clown frolics around and mocks us all. I think I just didn't have my classic reading hat on and just can't find the appreciation Shakespeare deserves. "

" need to change this edition "

" My favorite play by Shakespeare's to date. I like comedy:D "

" Never was there a greater opening line than "If music be the food of love, play on." "

" Twelfth Night is based on how far people would go for love. This book is very interesting because I could related to the world as a whole. Something what i learned from this book was that sometimes people are not really in love they are just in love with the idea of being in love. What i did not like about the book was the end because i feel like the marriages were not based on love. I would recommend this book to people specially teenagers because they are the ones who struggle the most when it comes to "Love" "

" I really enjoyed this book. It was fun to read. I read it at a time when I all I wanted to do was sleep and dream. Pretty depressing time in my life. I later watched a play at Miller Outdoor Theater when I finally pulled myself together and moved back to Houston. "

" Not my favorite play. Many of the jokes go over my head, the formula of the plot is bothersome, and there just aren't any characters that I really care about that much. This is a whimsical play, and I'm not a big fan of whimsy (I'm looking at you Southeast Portland), so my response could be more about me than the play. I've seen it done twice and always enjoy what the actors do with the lines, but as a read it was a bit of a slog. "

" A re-read before I start teaching it with my 7th graders next month. One of my favorites! "

" One of my favorite authors, poets!! He never drops the baton. Anything by him is worth your while. "

" Definitely not my favorite of Shakespeare's. The characters and the plot are very flimsy and while I understand the concept he was going for, it's not his best work at all. "

" My favourite Shakespeare play of all time "

" This was suprisingly light-hearted. I forgot how funny Shakespeare can be. I love all puns, and his ability to have characters go on and on and on with wordplay . The plot was not extremely in-depth, but I appreciated it - especially the androgyny and homoerotic subtext between Antonio and Sebastian. Overall, a quite fun read, although not life-changing by any means. "

" This is one of the first Shakespearean plays I was ever introduced to, and it will always remain a favorite. Despite an occasional deviance (the mistreatment of Malvolio for instance), it's quirky, light hearted humor is simply good fun. I would definitely recommend this to anyone! "

" This book was more interesting then I thought it would be. The love triangle between Olivia, Orsino, and Viola/Cesario made things real interesting because of how each character had feelings for another person, other then the person that has feelings for them. My favorite character was Olivia because of they how well she disguised herself and played the part of a man named Cesario. She had to hide her feelings Orsino because she really loved him but he saw her as a man. I would sugest this book to any highschool senior because of the love and emotions that take part in this book. "

" Easily my favorite of all Shakespear's "works", I love this story. It is a shame that Amanda Bynes was given the opportunity to ruin the tale with a modern remake a few years back, but I think true thespians will agree that it had the strength to enure such a horrific violation of the natural order. "

" I actually enjoyed the jokes, plot, and characters of this play a fair amount, so it seems that I'd have liked Shakespeare a lot more from the start if I'd been able to focus on the comedies rather than the tragedies. "

" I remember doing a monologue from this for Shakespeare through Performance class in college. "

" Never was there a greater opening line than "If music be the food of love, play on." "

" My favourite comedy by Shakespeare, full of laughs and surprises as well as a strong story and characters. Saw an RSC adaptation which had Richard Wilson as Malvolio :) "

" I also went to go and see this t the Globe Theatre in school.... It was quite good actually "

" Not one of Shakespeare's better plays, but there were some fun moments. "

" By far my favorite Shakespeare play! HILARIOUS--I laughed out loud in some parts! "

" I am not particularly fond of Shakespeare (please no booing and hissing, I am entitled to my own opinions and likes). But "Twelfth Night" was particularly entertaining for me. I enjoyed it far more than any else Shakespeare I have read. "

" What a great play. I enjoyed it immensely. I had seen it at Casper College and that made reading the play much better. "

" Actually a fairly entertaining book for a book I had to read in English. "

" I think that this was a good book. I was impressed with how well written this book was and how easy it was to read, even though it is in old english. I believe that this is one of William Shakespeares best writings that I have read. I would highly recommend this book to all high school Seniors. "

" Would have been a three, but Feste is so awesome I bumped it up. "

" Directing this for my summer Shakespeare company, The Rude Mechanicals, so the full truth is that I'm re-reading, having been part of productions before. This is my favorite of the works, in its poetry, its passion, its falls and flights. "

" Meh, not my favorite Shakespeare play. Alright, though. "

" Probably my favoite of his comedies. "

" Heartbreak, intrigue, and comedy. The best of Shakespeare! "

" Another play I don't recall reading. "

" This play was 1000000x better than Romeo and Juliet. Even though it was a school book, I enjoyed it very much. It was actually so funny that despite the confusing language, i laughed out loud several times. I'm definitely glad that my class read this book. "

" Actually a fairly entertaining book for a book I had to read in English. "

" Read about 20 pages of this; finished in the Norton Anthology of English Literature, 8th Edition. "

" Eh, typical Shakespeare. Some cross-dressing, mixing up, falling in love, a brawl or two. Shrug. "

" I remember reading this while in London and we got to see the play at a Park there...Hyde?...can't remember now... "

" I read the first part of this book in a Shakespeare read aloud group, so had the motivation to finish it: otherwise, I never would have chosen to read it for pleasure. It was a lot of fun to read aloud: there were some hilarious scenes that had us cracking up. "

" This is an incredibly funny book "

" my favorite of his work. this plot has been used SOOOO many times in modern pop culture. it amazes me that such a 'threes company' scenario has been around so long. "

" He he! Ahhhh the confusion caused by identical twins~!! "

" Even in modern English...I just can't get in to Shakespeare! This was just dumb. "

" wow, that was a headache. :o) "

" Too many movies ripped it off before I got around to reading it, so that the plot device tasted stale. Still, great dialogue (of course). "

" If you would like to read a play about cross-dressing, go with this one over As You Like It. Twelfth Night is much more interesting. "

" A great play, but I do not recommend this no-frills edition. "

" Not one of Shakespeare's better plays, but there were some fun moments. "

" Excellent text for teaching this great play to younger students. "

" One of my favorites by Shakespeare. It is comical and has a happy ending, which makes me happy! Really not much else to say. The man is a literary genius. His stuff never gets old. "

" I read this in my 7th grade English class. It was a funny story and I really do enjoy anything Shakespeare. This was probably the first play that got me fascinated with him as an author an person. "

" I always dreamed of playing Viola someday. "

" Possibly my favorite, I liked this even more than Much Ado About Nothing. It helped that most of the readers on the audiobook were really good, particularly Viola. "

" Possibly my favorite, I liked this even more than Much Ado About Nothing. It helped that most of the readers on the audiobook were really good, particularly Viola. "

" I've seen this play produced so. many. times that it's lost a little of its magic for me, but there's still no arguing: it's one of the very best of Shakespeare's comedies. "

" Shipwreck. Twins. A woman dressed as a man. Love triangles. Chaos ensues. Love me a good Shakespearean comedy. "

" my favorite Shakespeare comedy, as far as I've read "

" As far as Shakespeare goes, not my favorite, but still enjoyable non-the-less. "

" I like Sarah - and I understand where she is coming from. Her sister is an excellent foil. This is a giid series starter. "

" lol this is a fun book even tho its a little weird at times its still one of my all time favorite books of Shakespeare "

" Definitely one of my favorite books by Shakespeare. There is so much wit and comedy hidden in this book that you don't always catch the first time reading it. But it really is brilliant. "

" Shakespearean comedy at its finest... "

" Possibly my favourite Shakespeare play. "

" Chicks and dudes get mixed up. In Shakespeare's day, it was little dudes playing the chicks dressed like dudes. Sounds like an early version of Tropic Thunder's play on race. "

" I'm sorry, I cheated, I just read the sparknotes. but i'm just so behind. with five days of makeup work, AP tests, and leaving for another trip in 30 hours, i barely have any time to breathe. cheating a little on my fifty-two makes me feel a *little* better... "

" Shakespeare. What to say but wonderful. If you enjoy Shakespeare, you obviously don't need my review to get you to pick up this play. It is wonderful in every aspect. The characters, the plot, the dynamics, the comedy. Just a great read. Shakespeare lover's will feel me. Just awesome. "

" I preferred Love's Labour's Lost. This was ok -- interesting re the gender-bender part but that's the academic in me talking "

" so much beautiful language - not very much story. Malvolio is treated much worse than contemporary-darling Shylock ever was. "
