Once I started with one Dover book, it was hard not to dive in and reread, if not my whole collection, then at least a few of them. I've always been a Marlowe girl, and though Edward II is my favourite there's something that will always be enchanting and unnerving about his Dr. Faustus.

I have to say that this has been one of my favourite plays I’ve read in my life. I laughed out loud multiple times and the story reeled me in from the very beginning. The demons, the doctor, amazing and funny characters. I even kept hoping for a happy ending! Would definitely recommend.

One day, I'll follow Dr. Faustus in his footsteps.
