Shakespeare for dummies. So much of the beautiful prose of Shakespeare's pen is entirely lost in this version.
I won't be wasting 30 minutes on any more of her 'covers' of Shakespeare.

maybe I'm just not deep enough but all the characters are so unnecessary and unrealistically dramatic. but then again, they're rebellious teens, so maybe they would act like this. idk.
