    Great idea and excellent execution of the same. Worth it!

  • Even young kids love this!

    By creativEGG
    This book introduced Shakespear to my young daughter (5th Gr) and she absolutely loves it. She saw a dress rehearsal of the opera, A Midsummer Night's Dream, at Lincoln Center and this helped her understand the content. What brilliant idea it is that you have in your hands to see over and over especially if you don't understand the story with visual elements.

  • The Best of Old & New

    By Crictor4
    I actually do love reading Shakespeare so i was skeptical that anything "modern" could beat the original text. I was wrong. This new medium combines the best of both worlds with the bard's language juxtaposed against clean, beautiful acting. Each enhances the other. Thank you for giving the gift of Shakespeare to yet another generation...or two or three!

  • Making Shakespeare Real

    5
    By AspenPerth
    This is a terrific product. It makes Shakespeare real and vibrant--you get the humor and the fun and the interest of the play with the combination of clean dramatic production, excellent (and clear!) acting, and modern language tools, all of which are easily accessible with the original text. This bring everything together. I hated Shakespeare from when I was 12 and forced to read it until I was 20 and finally began to get it. This product allows kids and adults to "get it" immediately. I hope that there are more titles available soon. I can't wait for my kids to get their hands on them.

  • You'll Understand Shakespeare

    By Whistlerr
    I can't quite believe how good this is. I read Shakespeare in high school, and never got it. I read this version, and it immediately made sense. Kind of uncanny - and liberating, since I now begin to see how brilliant Shakespeare was!

  • great concept, beautifully produced

    Fantastic use of iBooks. And brilliantly produced. As a teacher and a thespian, I am impressed. I'll definitely be recommending it to fellow teachers. There is no better way to make Shakespeare accessible than through performance.

  • Great!

    By Arcaith
    I wish I'd had this when I was in high school. The performance is terrific, and it brings Shakespeare alive to kids (and adults!).

  • The Absolute Best Way to Read Shakespeare

    5
    By StellaHella
    Shakespeare is meant to be seen, not read. Simple as that. And this book accomplishes just that!! For the first time I understood Shakespeare's words! I can't wait for more of these to come out!

  • Spectacular learning tool

    5
    By L@marysunshine
    Visually engaging with wonderful performances and precise technology to bring clarity and a depth of understanding to even the most seemingly impenetrable words of Shakespearean text. This New Book Press ibook allows the play to spring to life ---- and should be a required mode for teaching. More please!
