Customer Reviews

Definitely a great tool for teaching Shakespeare!

I purchased this item with several other books regarding William Shakespeare's Macbeth. This is the best Macbeth version out there for those who want to read and understand Macbeth. The pages have plenty of space to write notes and every scene is explained in regular words for those who are having difficulty with the material. Besides the book, the CD-rom is its best feature with games and tests. It makes it easier for adults and not just kids. If you're wondering how to approach Macbeth to even the difficult and the challenged students, this will be the best 14 bucks you ever spent. Don't be a fool! It's a bargain at that price. I remember reading Shakespeare's plays in books with plenty of footnotes to only complicate matters.
