This is an awesome play providing an amazing source for the wildest interpretations. I will be following this with the revision of Hag-Seed The Tempest Retold by Margaret Atwood. I anticipate redoubling the joy.

Not a half bad Shakespeare reading. I was actually entertaining in some parts.

Wow this is a complicated play. If this is your first time reading Shakespeare, stop now and come back once you've read a few.

Pretty easy read as far as Shakespeare goes. It’s not my favorite of his plays, but it’s pretty solid. Prospero is a compelling protagonist and I enjoyed the love story between Ferdinand and Miranda.
