| 1. | [no image] | From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler from Atheneum Books Customer Review:  I had to read this in 5th grade and it was torture throughout. The story was good but the way it was written gave no true human reactions and it was a normal book with a weird displaced mistery put into it. |

| 2. |  | Much Ado about Nothing (Cambridge School Shakespeare) from Cambridge University Press Price: $8.50 Customer Review:  This adaptation of the classic is perfectly understandable, humorous, beautiful and a joy to behold. Even those who are bored or daunted by Shakespeare's work will enjoy this bountiful, star studded film. |

| 3. |  | Hamlet (The New Folger Library Shakespeare) from Washington Square Press Price: $5.99 Customer Review:  "Hamlet" is considered, by some, to be Shakespeare's best work. I am not of that school of thought. I've read it. I've watched it played on a stage. I've watched a movie or two based on it. It could be better. Hamlet (the character) has problems. Apparently, his step-father killed his father.... |

| 5. |  | Macbeth (Folger Shakespeare Library) from Washington Square Press Price: $5.99 Customer Review: You should order books brand new... in this case the new books are cheap and the price is sweet. Mine took about a week to deliver. For those sore losers who complain about the time... it is probably because they live far away from the seller. Book was brand new and good price around 10... |

| 6. |  | Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Wordsworth Special Editions) (Wordsworth Royals Series) from Wordsworth Editions Ltd Customer Review: It's taken me years to read plenty of Shakespeare, and there will probably always be something to read. He is the master of the drama and comedy. |

| 7. |  | Hamlet (No Fear Shakespeare) from SparkNotes Price: $5.95 Customer Review: What is there to say?? If your a person living in the 21st century you probably have no idea the terms used in Shakespeare's time, so its basically hopeless reading the play without a guide such as this one. I only started to actually understand, and therefore appreciate Shakespeare's stories when I... |

| 8. |  | Romeo and Juliet (Dover Thrift Editions) from Dover Publications Price: $1.00 Customer Review:  I am very conflicted in my feelings about this play; there are very powerful reasons to rate it highly, and also very powerful reasons to rate it poorly. There are, really, NO reasons for rating it mediocre, and yet that's what I wind up doing, only because that is the balance between the great and... |

| 9. |  | Hamlet (Cambridge School Shakespeare) from Cambridge University Press Price: $9.00 Customer Review: Let me begin by saying that Hamlet is truly an amazing play. By far, my favorite drama, Shakespearian or otherwise. Telling the story of a man searching for the light amid mind-boggling darkness, Hamlet reveals more about the conflicts people face in their own lifetimes than any other piece of... |

| 10. |  | Macbeth (No Fear Shakespeare) from SparkNotes Price: $5.95 Customer Review: This is the easiest way to read Shakespeare. One side is "The Bard's" words and the other is modern English. I highly recommend if reading Shakespeare is like reading another language. |

| 11. |  | Romeo and Juliet (No Fear Shakespeare) from SparkNotes Price: $5.95 Customer Review: I'm a lifelong Shakespeare fan who has recently discovered the No Fear series of "translations" of the plays. Although I had considered myself comfortable with Elizabethan dialect, I've learned a lot from the No Fear books. However, especially in Romeo and Juliet, one is struck by how the |

| 12. |  | Othello (Folger Shakespeare Library) from Washington Square Press Price: $9.95 Customer Review: I've been using the Folger library series for years now, and although the Norton Critical edition has its place, the Folger edition cannot be beat for clarity and accessibility. Pay the extra couple of bucks for the 5.5 x 8 paperback rather than the smaller mass market paperback. The paper... |

| 13. |  | King Lear (The New Folger Library Shakespeare) from Washington Square Press Price: $5.99 Customer Review: Such extremes of emotional manipulation as are encountered in King Lear would antagonize me if I encountered them in an ordinary work of fiction or a film. There is such a degree of unreasonable pettiness in King Lear's attitude; there is so much gratuitous malice in the evil designs of the older... |

| 14. |  | Macbeth (Shakespeare Made Easy) from Barron's Educational Series Price: $6.99 Customer Review: My World Literature professor suggested the "Shakespeare Made Easy" series after I told her that I would have difficulty understanding the Bard. I not only (finally!) understood what was happening but, in the future, will buy the other books in the series to do some serious catching up on... |

The play's text is printed on the right-hand pages, with explanations of archaic or... |

| 16. |  | The Tragedie Of Julius Caesar from Kessinger Publishing Price: $16.34 Customer Review: Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare This is one of Shakespeares most famous plays. I really enjoyed reading Kindle edition of the play. I would recommend this ebook to anyone who is interested in history or wants to read a compelling classic. |

| 17. | [no image] | Macbeth from Dover Publications Inc. Customer Review: This is the best of the Macbeth audio recordings that I've ever heard. Since I teach this play twice a year for the past twenty years, I've had the opportunity to pretty much hear them all, and I don't think any of the others compare. In fact, all of the Caedmon audio Shakespeare series are... |

| 18. |  | Romeo and Juliet (Shakespeare Made Easy) from Barron's Educational Series Price: $6.99 Customer Review: I bought this book for my high school Shakespeare class and found it to be the most helpful thing. With this book, you get a feel for what Shakespeare was saying in a language that you can understand. With my other Shakespeare books, I had to wait for my teacher to explain to us just what had... |

| 20. |  | William Shakespeare Complete Works (Modern Library) from Modern Library Price: $40.95 Customer Review: The RSC Complete Works is a wonderful addition to anyone's library even if you already have another version of the Complete Works. As other reviewers have pointed out this edition follows the sequence and format of the First Folio making it somewhat unique in the selection of Complete Works that are... |

| 21. |  | The Tempest (Cambridge School Shakespeare) from Cambridge University Press Price: $8.50 Customer Review: The Tempest is rightly regarded as being one of the Bard's greatest works, containing some of his deepest thoughts on the nature of power and the relationship between rational man as controller of nature, and the animal man always to be at the mercy of the passions both of himself, others, and the... |

| 22. |  | The Riverside Shakespeare, 2nd Edition from Heinle Price: $81.74 Customer Review: This edition of the Complete Works of Shakespeare is excellent. I bought it as a textbook, but if I were looking for a complete works right now, I would buy it simply for its excellence. Not only does it contain all of Shakespeare's works, but it has extensive notes on the text as well. |

| 23. |  | The Oxford Shakespeare: The Complete Works 2nd Edition from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $26.40 Customer Review: The general editors, those being Stanley Wells, Gary Taylor and John Jowett, have become, thanks to this project, sort of superstars in the world of Shakespeare criticism, for better and worse. In this review I shall first take my stand against the discrepancies in the performance critical approach... |

| 24. |  | The Tempest (Folger Shakespeare Library) from Washington Square Press Price: $5.99 Customer Review: As Shakespeare's final play, The Tempest is appropriately a culmination of his motifs and themes amassed beforehand in previous work. You have the jester, the underhanded political aspirants, the outcast, the young naive fools hopelessly in lust, and the omniscient schemer behind it all. What may... |

| 25. |  | World of Shakespeare: The Complete Plays and Sonnets of William Shakespeare (38 Volume Library) from Penguin Price: $119.60 Customer Review: I am a non-native speaker of English who have been struggling to get into Shakespeare's language for a while. My method so far has been reading translations along with the original (over the internet and in Penguin books) and ensuing the aid of "no fear Shakespeare", Sparknotes and other internet... |

| 26. |  | Much Ado About Nothing (Folger Shakespeare Library) from Washington Square Press Price: $5.99 Customer Review:  The Folger Library editions of Shakespeare's work are very readable, and easy to understand, with plenty of notes that help to explain the idiom and syntax of his English. Sadly, the trial, Kindle editions I have downloaded bear no resemblance to what is available in Hardcopy. They are lacking... |

| 27. |  | Spark Notes Julius Caesar from SparkNotes Price: $5.95 Customer Review: As an older adult that is somewhat isolated I started the study of Shakespeare on my own with just a big book that had annotaions that were often more cofusing than enlightening. It was rewarding but it was like plowing through a field full of big rocks. I found reading two or three scenes of an act... |

| 30. |  | The Merchant of Venice (Folger Shakespeare Library) from Washington Square Press Price: $5.99 Customer Review: If one can get past the blatant anti-semitism of this play, you will be sucked into a hilarious battle of wits. This is actually called a drama, but it contains romance and very hysterical lines and gives women a role that is seldom in seen in works of this time period. Classic characters and... |
