| I teach British Literature and find the price is right for my students, the book size is a bit too small, and the intoductory and closing notes and essay are very good. | | |  | Book Review Jun 30, 2009 |
| This book came very quickly, and was in mint condition. Very pleased with this order. | | | | As You Like It Jul 21, 2008 |
| I really enjoyed this play by Shakespeare. It contains a lot of witty conversation. I am going to see this play performed sometime in the near future and I am really looking forward to it. | | | | Outstanding tale of gender issues Jul 8, 2008 |
I am amazed this one gets performed on stage these days, it is delightfully bawdy, absolutely entertaining, an accurate depiction of human nature, utterly insensitive to the delicate temperments of those who seek out offense in any reference to gender, and just a great play.
Rosalind and Celia are on the lam, trying to teach Orlando, the impassioned but impovershed younger son, a lesson in love, but the manipulative Rosalind ends up learning the lesson. The deposed Duke and his deposer are in the background throughout.
A great play, and well worth watching or reading.
