Much Ado About Nothing . . .

. . . So far, I've really enjoyed this book. At first, it seemed a little harder to understand than Romeo and Juliet, but I think I've gotten used to the language after Act 2. I'm also excited to read one of Shakespeare's comedies, rather than his tragedy we read last year. It sounds like it has a really interesting plot, and watching the movie really helps me to understand the major events. The themes and characters are relevant to today too. The play contains all the villains, damsels in distress, heroes and ladies men that current movies and books advertise. It even has some of the same themes such as the awkwardness of love, loyalty of friends, and the phenomenon of "opposites attract". All in all, I think this is going to be a really fun book to read, and I'm excited to see how the plot, characters, and themes play out in one of the most famous comedies of all time.
