“Othello” By William Shakespeare Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , Leave a comment

Lago is furious about being overlooked for promotion and plots to take revenge against his General; Othello, the Moor of Venice. Lago manipulates Othello into believing his wife Desdemona is unfaithful, stirring Othello’s jealousy. Othello allows jealousy to consume him, murders Desdemona, and then kills himself.

I had high expectations for this one because I’ve heard so much good about this play but unfortunately it didn’t live up to my expectations. 

The plot was super boring in this one to be fully honest. But I’ll give this play another chance by watching it live whenever I get the chance to do that and see if I like it better than. 

The characters in this play was okay for the most part but I just didn’t care about them. But also they were super confusing and I just couldn’t keep up with who was who in this play.

There are a lots of problems whit the characters here because of the way it has aged. All of the characters here are either racist or very obsessive with someone else. 

The writing style here was the best thing in this play because it gave the biggest William Shakespeare vibe which I enjoyed a lot.

“Measure for Measure” By William Shakespeare Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , Leave a comment

Measure for Measure is about the fate of Claudio, who is arrested by Lord Angelo, the temporary leader of Vienna. Angelo is left in charge by the Duke, who pretends to leave town but instead dresses as a friar to observe the goings-on in his absence.

I complete hate this play because it was so damn boring and it was a pure torture reading this play. 

This play was so boring that I ended up DNF-ing it after having read like 30% of it because it was so exhausting. 

The characters here were super annoying and I didn’t care for them at all. The characters in this play were also super confusing because I just couldn’t tell them apart because all of them felt like the same person just dressing up as different people. 

The plot in this play wasn’t better than the characters. I had the hardest time ever trying to follow the plot-line.

The writing style in this play was super bad to that point that it surprised me because it didn’t feel like William Shakespeare.

“Twelfth Night” By William Shakespeare Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , Leave a comment

Twelfth Night is a fast-paced romantic comedy with several interwoven plots of romance, mistaken identities and practical jokes. Separated from her twin brother Sebastian in a shipwreck, Viola disguises herself as a boy, calls herself Cesario, and becomes a servant to the Duke Orsino.

This play like many other plays by William Shakespeare was boring and I just didn’t care for it. This play didn’t disappoint me because many plays by William Shakespeare have done that so I started not having any expectations for them. 

The plot here was typical William Shakespeare plot which really had the potential to be good but simply wasn’t. The romance here together with the lame jokes in this play makes this play insufferable and pure torture.  

This play was an attempt by William Shakespeare to make a rom-com which I need to say that he accomplished but I personally hate rom-coms so of course I hate this play as well.

The characters in this play are super boring because they are the most generic rom-com characters as it can be. Which really made me want to stab myself with something in both of the eyes.

“The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place” By Arthur Conan Doyle Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , Leave a comment

To be fully honest here the plot in this one was very weak, but it was still somehow enjoyable but not so interesting as some other stories about Sherlock Holmes in my humble opinion. 

The characters here are okay but when it comes to Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson they are an amazing due and I loved they both because they have something in them which makes us relate to them.

The writing style here was okay but I think that sir Arthur Conan Doyle could have done better in this book.

“The Adventure of the Three Garridebs” By Arthur Conan Doyle Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , Leave a comment

It may have been a comedy, or it may have been a tragedy. It cost one man his reason, it cost me a blood-letting, and it cost yet another man the penalties of the law. Yet there was certainly an element of comedy. Well, you shall judge for yourselves. I remember the date very well, for it was in the same month that Holmes refused a knighthood for services which may perhaps some day be described.

“The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone” By Arthur Conan Doyle Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , Leave a comment

It was pleasant for Dr. Watson to find himself once more in the untidy room of the first floor in Baker Street which had been the starting-point of so many remarkable adventures. He looked round him at the scientific charts upon the wall, the acid-charred bench of chemicals, the violin-case leaning in the corner, the coal-scuttle, which contained of old the pipes and tobacco. Finally, his eyes came round to the fresh and smiling face of Billy, the young but very wise and tactful page, who had helped a little to fill up the gap of loneliness and isolation which surrounded the saturnine figure of the great detective.
