2 out of 5 stars The Tempest   November 15, 2009
Linda Sheean (New York, NY United States)
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

The No Fear Shakespeare edition of 'The Tempest' is a bastardization of the Shakespearian language and gives an erroneous idea of what W. Shakespeare actually meant. (The format is Shakespearian English on page one and 20th century english on page two.) I believe the No Fear version actually changes meaning of the original several times. I would stay away from this edition.

5 out of 5 stars Sparknotes Rule!!   August 8, 2009
Debora D. Kaiser (NC)
We are collecting as many Sparknotes as possible. When you are required to read Shakespeare, you must have a guide. It's that simple. There is no guide better, in our opinion as teachers, and students of literature.


5 out of 5 stars Best Book Ever   July 21, 2007

The story line was a little silly; however, if this is a college requirment, then I highly recommend this book. It was so easy to read.


5 out of 5 stars Shakespeare Is To Be Enjoyed and This Edition Lets You Do It   March 15, 2006
Big D (Auburn, AL. USA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

As has been stated, this format, original text on the left page, modern text on the right, is extremely helpful, the best of both worlds. The beauty and lyricism of the original text and the quick, easy to read and understand modern text on the right...read this editon, saw the play the next night and appreciated it more than ever before. Scholars may not like this format, but to the public and to the casual, but interested reader, this format can't be beaten.


5 out of 5 stars Book does what it promises   February 1, 2005
Jim Beam (Wayward, Connecticut)
11 out of 11 found this review helpful

This is a very simple review to write. The book does what it promises. Left hand page is the text of the play, to the right what each character says is given the literary equivalent of subtitles in colloquial english.

For example, a character says about men in a shipwreck: "Not a hair perished. On their sustaining garments not a blemish, but fresher than before."

Confused? Look to the translation on the opposing page: "Nobody was hurt in the slightest. Even their clothes were unstained, and look fresher than before the storm."

Works better than a mere glossary because it puts the meaning of the characters' statements into 21st century English. And Shakespeare is much more enjoyable and comprehensible when you know what is going on.
