Book Reviews of Shakespeare's Sonnets (Highbridge Classics)
Book Review: Not good for children
Summary: 2 Stars
We purchased this audiobook with our children in mind, hoping it might serve as an introduction to Shakespearean language while freeing us up to pursue our own interests during car trips. Disappointingly, Mr. Callow's affected speech proves very difficult to follow, even after repeated hearings. He speaks far too quickly and musically, which distracts from the sonnets themselves.
Additionally, the sonnets are not each clearly delineated from the other. Strained ears find the occasional familiar line, but such effort is ultimately better spent reading the sonnets aloud ourselves. Spend your money elsewhere, if you wish to keep the babies entertained.
