Reviews

[Arash · Rating 3 out of 5]

The Noble Spanish Soldier, a play written by Thomas Dekker in 1622, about sex, disguises and murderous plots in the court of Spain.
It's hard to read mostly because of the English format used at the time of writing; otherwise, it's funny and entertaining while make you contemplate certain things.
If you come across this book, give it a shot; but it's only recommended for those who like this format of the book to go and actively pursue finding a copy of this

[Krishna · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pretty Weird book, not to mention the tricky old English language was bit hard to understand. But a marvelous story and a quite a good read.
The climax is truly perspective, you think of so many endings as the play begins but at the end it is really different and simple.
