Loved reading this for my 8th grade English Lit class. It's one of my favourite plays by Shakespeare, second to probably 'Macbeth'.

A little underwhelming for me in terms of Shakespeare. It had all the set ups for conflict between its characters— a Duke looking for the protagonists, multiple love triangles— but it remains somewhat plotless. That said, the dialogue is all very contemplative, most of it being a reflection on the roles we play in society because of our outward status. I suppose that is what Shakespeare was going for, using the protagonists disguises less as a plot vehicle and more as a gateway for these conversations to take place. However, I have seen Shakespeare deliver both riveting plot and reflective dialogue at the same time so I stand my case.

I wasn’t as fascinated with it as I have been with other books in the past, but I did enjoy it as a Shakespearean play.

Had to read it for my English class. I didn't really enjoy it. Shakespeare is the God of instalove, and with this play he has actually shown us how big his power is.
