I'm surprised I ever picked up any Shakespeare again after reading this. (Strangely, people consider my a "Shakespeare freak" even now.) It was okay the first time I read it (on my own in middle school), but it was horrible when my teacher made us read it when I was a sophomore in high school. This is my LEAST favorite of all the plays I've read by Shakespeare.
