"A few years ago I set out to read all of Shakespeare's plays in my spare time, and in the middle of this self-imposed labour of love I picked this up in a used bookshop. He has a few concise, informative and entertaining pages on each of the plays so I read them in parallel, which helped. It's a very thick book, but there are a lot of plays..."
"this book IS AMAZING. Bloom opens Shakespeare up with such wonderful insights and -despite being a critical theory review type book it is a fascinating and entertaining read."
"I'm definitely a fan of Bloom and this is an incredible piece of work, covering nearly all the important characters in Shakespeare's work and showing how they "set the stage" for all future writers."
"Bloom is such a good reader of Shakespeare but I don't find all his arguments convincing. If you want to learn about the plays, this isn't the book for you. If you want to learn what Bloom's opinions are regarding the plays and Shakespeare's achievements and shortcomings then this is the book for you."
