The flow of sequence is sometimes hard to follow because of the lack of bolder dividing lines and irregular box sizes. The characters are quite similar in facial features, so unless the reader is familiar with the original play, character development is hard to follow; even using the character list as a reference piece. In all, the artwork, set in a modern setting, helps the reader to visualize the events. The language used, as noted in the author’s note, does not follow the original poetic format. The book is more of a summary with a few quoted lines used near the end of the play. This choice can also be described as a cunning way to get readers to read Shakespeare and not inundate with iambic pentameter until the end of the play, which by then, the reader will not want to stop reading the book. Overall, this rendition is a great supplemental read or a pre-read to the original play, especially for the high school student. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
