Rating is for the edition, rather than the play itself. This is my favourite of the various different Shakespeare editions I've ever picked up. It's got a great deal of extra information for the reader, including several summaries (scene by scene, act by act, and an overview of the play).

Capital in the great shakespearian dramatic era, probably it's the greatest one with Macbeth too. King Lear is all a big metaphor about the hierarchies' twisting and human crisis. In this drama sub plot is the real transfiguration of the main one, there's a complex philosphical inquiry behind all figures and it makes reading absorbing.
