Book Reviews of Love Poems & Sonnets of William Shakespeare
Book Review: Shakespeare, Like Caviar, is an Aquired Taste
Summary: 5 Stars
To be quite truthful I must say that I found Shakespeare's sonnets a little hard to digest until I decided to roll up my intellectual sleeves and work at it, because I thought it would be good for me.
They are short and easy to read, but in order to get the most out of them I found a quiet place, where noone would laugh, and read them aloud.
By the time I got to sonnet #50 they were making sense. I began to highlight my favorite ones. Some of them I read to other people. One or two made me laugh, several moved me emotionally. When I was finished I felt richer for having made the effort.
It is not hard to give these poems and sonnets 5 stars.
HOWEVER I'm not sure you should purchase the book. I found some dated used copies of "The Sonnets of William Shakespeare with the famous Temple Notes and an introduction by Robert O. Ballou" on Amazon.com for $ .14 each. Yes, that's fourteen cents for small hardback copies in great shape. Sure they're dated, but for me the contents are more important than the commentaries, so age doesn't matter much.
