H.J. Swinford's Reviews > The Taming of the Shrew

I love this story. I have loved this story for a long time (because of Kiss Me, Kate and Ten Things I Hate About You) but I had never actually picked up the book and read it. I find it is not my favorite of Shakespeare's plays, though I still like it a great deal. In this particular play the names seem more similar to one another than, say, Hamlet or Much Ado About Nothing, so it was harder to read (especially since I tend to read quickly over the dialogue and forget to look to see who is speaking them.) That was my greatest challenge.

This particular edition is wonderful (yay B&N!) in that it gives great context, history, vocabulary and style help before, during and after the main text. It is a great edition and I love the way B&N does all their Shakespeare plays.

It was a good read, but still doesn't take Much Ado's place in my heart. :)
