    <body><![CDATA[Love's Labour's Lost is never going to be my favorite Shakespeare play.  But it was refreshing to discover the inherent theatricality of Bill's tempo and tone changes throughout on this read--my second or third.

One scene, mostly in Latin, I could tell was intended to be funny, with two characters misusing their schoolboy Latin, but I missed the humor because I ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38239989">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[An under-valued piece of charming, whimsical comedy.  Some of the elements that Shakespeare would put into his later comedies - letters, masks, a botched play-within-the-play - are here, but what is most appealing to me about Loves Labour's Lost is its non-traditional ending.  As Berowne says:<br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61001750">more...</a>]]></body>
