A good book worthy of a read

Advantages: Good ambiguity within the book, Good Length, a true page-turner.
Disadvantages: One location means there is little description.

...dinner party is disrupted by an Inspector who grills them all about the death of a young girl to whom they are all in some way connected to. As the story progresses the connections are revealed and the Inspector's persona is also looked at. It's ambiguity allows you to make judgement about the characters yourself which adds to the reading experience. It's length is another bonus. It's not too long but is long enough to keep you thinking and keeps ...

Romeo and julliet the book

Advantages: Its not too expensive and it's a very good read
Disadvantages: You don't know whats going to happen during the middle of the storyline.

I think that Romeo and Juliette is an excellent book in which is written in a great inderstandable context. The characters Romeo and Julliet each come from different families and in which each family are at war with each other. In my opinion this was a good setting with the book because it shows how two families that hate each other can draw two lovers together. I think that the way William Shakesphere presented his characters in the book was outstanding ...

Nothing As Dark As Macbeth

Advantages: Exposes humanity
Disadvantages: Some difficult language

Macbeth is, without a doubt, one of Shakespeare's greatest plays. Cruel, dark and mystical, the story of Macbeth is composed of an eloquent mixture of supernatural elements, man's insatiable will to power and the shadows of evil in the soul. Shakespeare provides the reader with a complex yet realistic view of the regrets and fears of a great and once noble warlord who, in his quest for greatness, murders his King and mentor. Shakespeare's great tragedy ...
...portrayal of the three witches echoes for several days in the minds of the play's readers and viewers and his investigation into the nature of the human spirit and its desires is haunting. Not only does this play contain some of Shakespeare's finest poetry but also contains his most compelling storyline. ...

Hamlet by William Shakespeare:Wonderful Pyschological Analysis

Advantages: Brillant insight of the human mind!! Easily transposed in modern context
Disadvantages: Might be difficult to read

Hamlet remains the major psychological work of Shakespeare. In fact, a psychoanalyst Shakespearian fan will rejoice over the marvelous display of Freudian and Lacan theories, as well as the deep insights into the dark thoughts and contemplations which secretly arise even within the best of us. I personally believe that the character of Hamlet is the perfect depiction of a brilliantly troubled mind: “To Be or Not to Be” have become legendary words. ...
...what, according to me, makes Hamlet such a perfect psychological work. Shakespeare, in this play asks questions and provides solutions which can easily be regarded from a post-modernist concept. If you are looking for a psychological definition of the concept of revenge, look no furthers than Hamlet- the concepts and inner struggle of Hamlet concerning revenge highlights the key factors of this concept. In addition, feminists like myself will thrive ...

Our Day Out."Play your cards right, and I might take for a ride"

Advantages: Full of humour and pathos
Disadvantages: You may need Northern humour to appreciate it

...Liverpudlian children. Our Day Out is a NEED to see/read play if you are from Liverpool or the surrounding areas. If you are not you perhaps won't really find it AS amusing... But just go and see/read it anyway and see what you think. ...
