Two Gentlemen of Verona Audiobook

" I forgot how much I love Shakespeare! "

" The ending is disappointing especially when every conflicts were constructed well, motiviating me to see how those problems would be solved. However, to my disappointment, they were solved rushly. How come Valentine immidately forgave Proteus and gived up his lover, Silvia to, merely due to the apology of ProTeua? "

" Apparently this is one the Bard's earliest works and maybe he had not yet hit his rhythm. The language is lyric and well placed, but there is just nothing going on. I gave it a chance, and tried really hard to like it, but just could not get into this one. "

" Ugh! It's hard for the ending of this play not to ruin everything else about it. Yes, i read it with modern -- and feminist -- eyes. But it just goes to show how women were seen as, literally, property to be exchanged between men for the purposes of making or renewing their alliances with each other. I did just see the play performed, and it is quite enjoyable to watch, with many funny moments. But, again, that end! Totally appalling. "

" What the heck kind of a wimp is Valentine. First he saves his love Silvia from being "forced" by Proteus THEN he gives Silvia to Proteus in the name of friendship. Instead of the two gentlemen of Verona it should have been the wimp and weenie. "

" I just prefer seeing a play to reading one, but there is a reason Shakespeare is so timeless. "

" Shakespeare festival with family in Cedar. "

" Love is blind--Eventhough the plot is contrived, the repartee among the characters is really fun. I love the battle of the sexes theme. A fun read. "

" although this is supposed to be shakespeare's worst comedy, i liked it more than the others i've read so far (the comedy of errors and the taming of the shrew). "

" This is definitely not Shakespeare's finest, but it's still rather entertaining. "

" it`s very very nice book witteb by william shakessper "

" Less likable because I was pushed for time to finish it. Like King John, this play is fairly simple, less complex than most of the other comedies. It does predict (assuming an early composition date) a great many of Shakespeare tropes. "

" Liked the friendship and love between the two couples. Of course, misunderstandings make the play. "

" So Julia finds out that Proteus is cheating on him-or trying to...so she decides to marry him? What is wrong with this picture? I fell like I've seen something like this plot before. "

" to three or four stars or not to three or four stars? that's the question! "

" I found the character of Proteus, the inconstant lover, to be quite interesting. The ending, though, was too hard to swallow, totally implausible. Definately not my favorite. "

" Not the best play done by Shakespeare, but reading throught it you can find aspects that he later uses in other plays. "

" Added this book, because this was the only version I found. I have only read the abridged version though "

" one of his more quotable tales. "

" I had no interest in or sympathy for the vacillating protagonists of this romantic comedy. "

" Well, Shakespearean comedy, y'know. Lovers, fools, lovers bein' jerks, love both requited and un-, uhh bandits being kinda dumb. I guess there were some good lines, it was kind of fun. "

" ah! this was the third play I read for that paper! "

" My absolute favorite Shakespeare play. A hilarious classic more people should read. "

" This is the great modern edition of a play which is a silly comedy with an ending that should upset modern sensibilities--and there's a dog! "

" Yep. Read it. Yep. Enjoyed it more as a play. Yep. That's how it is going to be with this project. "

" Awww, this one was so cute! There was also betrayal, and the funny olden way of using the saying, "Made love to" "

" First actual Shakespeare I've read since Julius Caesar in high school. Appreciated having annotations. The word plays are awesome. "

" Overall a good early work of William Shakespeare. Lots of intrigue and fun characters. My only beef is with the ending where Shakespeare seems to suddenly realize that he actually HAS to end it, so there are some loose ends that are hastily and messily tied up. Overall a fun play, though. "

" Read the play and then went to see it. It always comes to life when you see Shakespeare on stage. I was prepared to dislike the play, but enjoyed reading it and seeing it live. "

" I've seen and done this show too much to have any love for it. And the end is just a mess. However, I recently re-read it with some newbies, and they loved it, so maybe it's one of those things where it's great until it's overplayed. "
