Book Reviews of Bartlett's Shakespeare Quotations
Book Review: The Best of Shakespeare
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is loaded with Shakespeare quotes from each of his works. If you are a big Shakespeare fan, you will probably really enjoy this book. It will also appeal to you if you simply enjoy quotes or wisdom. The book is organized by titles of Shakespeare's prose. This is both a positive and a negative. It is positive if you want to find specific quotes from specific literary works...perfect for English teachers. The reason that I stated that this is also a negative is that it is the only way this book is organized. There is no index for specific topics. This is a drawback if you want to find specific Shakespeare quotes for specific topics or subjects. I would have preferred it if this book was organized both by literary works and also had a complete index (it actually doesn't have an index at all). This would have made the book a bit more useful, but doesn't take away from the abundance of quotes that it contains. As is, it is more useful as a reference for English teachers than the average person who is looking to use Shakespeare's quotes in regards to a presentation, paper, or other writing, which can still be done of course, it will just take a little more searching to find exactly what you need. Overall, it is a nice book and the true Shakespeare fan will no doubt enjoy it.
