"Five stars for mastery of the sonnet form. But four stars maybe for content. I found myself bored with the same ideas over and over again. Shakespeare even admits in one of the sonnets that he is writing the same sonnet over and over. He is obsessed with beauty and mutability."

"When I was a baby-child my mother would read me Shakespeare's sonnets instead of childrens stories before I went to sleep & I still find them lovely 7 comforting."
