Increasing parallels to current socio-political powers in the western world

Doesn't lose itself or its quality in the adaptation

Buckle up

One of the most intense and emotional TV shows I have watched, we managed to split it across two days just to get to the end but I reccommend pacing yourself as the content can be very confronting(as it intends to be). Fantastic social commentary once again by Margaret Atwood- a literary legend across genres and entertainment mediums.

Easy reading

Who doesn't want to have a literary adventure?!

The authors humorous character is revealed within this book. Following a teenage girl the book sets up for those to follow. I began reading this when i was 12 years old and 8 years later i purchased the latest book in the series. The easy to read plot line grasps its readers and draws them into another world within the one we know. It certainly brings adventure and excitement into real life.

Becs (244 KP) rated The Merchant of Venice in Books

I love William Shakespeare and every one of his plays but The Merchant of Venice was a difficult play for me to get into. I felt like the plot was all over the place but I pushed through it to finish the book. It had its good scenes and its bad ones, most books and plays do.

Would I reread The Merchant of Venice again, probably not.

Is it a good play, it's definitely worth the read because of it being a literary classic.
