Review by Kate from Mcminnville, OR | 5/9/2011

Overlong. I got the feeling of padding out a paper, like Shakespeare was really stretching this and using a ton of filler.

Still, very eloquent. I really enjoyed the overdramatic, morose Richard II. I think Shakespeare's sympathy was pretty clearly with him and he steals the show.

Review by Jaime from Washington, DC | 5/7/2011

Certain passages in here really moved me, even though it's a history, and as such, is a little drier than most Shakespeare. Richard and the Queen towards the end---shades of star-crossed lovers.

Review by Tom from The United States | 5/6/2011

Richard pretty much loses the kingdom early on. Then, it's just a matter of time until he's whacked. I did enjoy emo Richard. The writing was really good too.
