[Shai · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love this graphic novel of William Shakespeare's classic, A Midsummer Night's Dream. For students and for those who want to read this classic story, this is good alternative to the unabridged version. I've finished reading this within an hour and it's easier to understand compared to the original version of Shakespeare's poetic and eloquent English. A big thanks to the publisher for coming up with this.

Ok adaptation of Shakespeare for people, who want to understand it without reading the play
