Out of the entire Shakespeare canon, I found this to be the most difficult to get through. The Tempest deals with huge themes, like slavery and freedom, heaven and hell, and purgatory. It's a masterpiece, but I had to read it 3 times.

Stephen King
I am a huge Stephen King fan and have read most if not all of his books. So far have never been disapointed in the books being turned into movies however when a remake is made it sometimes ruins it.

This book killed me. So much goodness and pain in 448 pages is too much for my heart. I can't take it.
