Absolutely love this book!!

I definitely love every single one of these poems and sonnets, and I especially love the rhyming scheme and just how love is expressed in to every single poem you read in this book

Love Poems and Sonnets of William Shakespeare

This book is full of Shakespeare's work, so if you don't like the way he uses the English language do not get this book. On the other hand, if you do enjoy and understand his plays, (Everyone should be familiar with at least one. Remember highschool?)this book is a must! All of the poems deal with love; lost love, unforgettable love, forbidden love, everlasting love, obsessive love, first love, life changing love, ect.,ect. These poems seem to be telling a story, each one different, but as emotional as the one before. If you have a hard time letting someone know how you feel or putting your emotions into words, this book could be the answer. To the women, there are so many different Sonnets that I could relate to situations during my lifetime that seemed to be telling the story of my life. If you know an unromantic guy, this would be a great gift. This would help him sweep ladies off of their feet! Actually, this book would really be good for anyone of all ages, I mean, it IS filled with LOVE. It is a welcome change to the fast,unforgiving world we live in today!

This book is imajinitive and wonderful

Shakespeare was one of the most imajinitive writers ever known on earth. He wrote what he thought in a very nice way. All of the fine poems I have read of shakespeare's are the best I have ever read in my life ! Unsuprisingly, his plays hit top market back in shakespeare's day. The thing I like most about shakespeare's writing is that he just used his imagination, and wrote what he thought would be nice to show to the public. Thank you for reading my review , your young reader, Kathryn Kimmel:):-)
