I wanted this book to be better than it was, but Ophelia felt both flat and artificially modern. Some plot devices were painfully cliche. However, if it gets "the kids" interested in Shakespeare, I guess I can't complain.

It's hard to tell whether you want to strangle Ariah for being so absolutely clueless or, like Don Draper's first wife, is she just a product of her times.

It helped that I knew a little about Comedia Dellarte. Still, what a bizarre little love story. What else to expect from Gaiman, I do not know.

This book takes a lot of brainpower. I'm not sure I understood everything I read, but I appreciate the time it muat have taken to complete the book. Will need to read it again at some point.

Actually one of the better YA books I've read in awhile. Not too predictable, with actually interesting characters.

A great way to give kids the background on Greek mythology.

Well-written, informative, and a bit of a tear-jerker at the end. Glad to have finished it in time for the next Muppet movie.
