Twelfth Night: Or What You Will Review


Twelfth Night: Or What You Will by William Shakespeare (256 pages)
My Rating: 5 Stars
Date Finished: 24 January 2015

 Synopsis:

 Roger Warren & Stanley Wells (Editors) Twelfth Night is one of the most popular of Shakespeare's plays in the modern theatre, and this edition places particular emphasis on its theatrical qualities throughout. Peopled with lovers misled either by disguises or their own natures, it combines lyrical melancholy with broad comedy. The introduction analyses its many views of love and the juxtaposition of joy and melancholy, while the detailed commentary pays particular attention to its linguistic subtleties. Music is particularly important in Twelfth Night, and this is the only modern edition to offer material for all the music required in a performance. Publisher: Oxford University Press Paperback ISBN 9780199536092

 My Review:

 I really enjoyed this play. I studied it in high school and I am studying it again in college. It is just so much fun. The only thing I have a slight problem is the ending. *SPOILERS* Why does everyone end up together without any repercussions? But, whatever, I still like it.

Collecting: Annihilation Prologue, Annihilation: Nova 1-4 My Review: So this was my first time being introduced to some of these characters, others, such as Drax, Ronan, Thanos and Gamora I was a bit more familiar with, but only their basic story lines from Guardians of the Galaxy. My dad gave me these three books to borrow and read because I had told him I wanted to read more graphic

Extraordinary Means Review

Extraordinary Means by Robyn Schneider ( pages) Date Read: 9 August 2015 My Rating: 5 Stars Synopsis: At seventeen, overachieving Lane finds himself at Latham House, a sanatorium for teens suffering from an incurable strain of tuberculosis.
