I was impressed by the idea of such a Shakespeare book. My daughter is studying Julius Caesar for her exams at school so this book has been a great help. The original text laid on the page next to everyday modern language makes it so easy to understand. A great buy to come to terms with Shakespearean language. I have also purchased other books in the series including "Twelfth Night" and "As You Like It" for my own enjoyment of reading. Would definitely recommend the "No Fear Shakespeare" books to any beginners who want a clearer understanding of the great works of William Shakespeare. Great service with delivery also, and the cost was not expensive either. However I think a more in-depth character analysis for each character in the play would be much appreciated for the ones provided are a bit brief.

No Fear Shakespeare Julius Caesar
5 July 2008
Format:Paperback
As an older adult that is somewhat isolated I started the study of Shakespeare on my own with just a big book that had annotaions that were often more cofusing than enlightening. It was rewarding but it was like plowing through a field full of big rocks. I found reading two or three scenes of an act with No Fear Shakespeare and then reading the corresponding section of Asimov's Guide to Shakespeare great fun. No Fear explains the nuances of language and setting while Asimov gives rich insight to the characters and events that makes it so easy to remember the varied characters and plot twists.
I found this method makes Shakespeare infinitely more easy to not only get through but savor and enjoy. My plan is to get as much of No Fear Shakespeare as I can including all the plays that I have gone through so laboriously in the past and apply the No Fear/Asimov technique. I hope it works as well for you as it did for me.

Excellent resource
11 Mar 2007
Format:Paperback
I teach high school students and must say that this book has been a valuable resource throughout our unit on Julius Caesar. My students are finally grasping what is being read and have really enjoyed the reading thus far. If only there had been a reference tool around like this when I was in school!!! The title is absolutely right, there is No Fear in reading Shakespeare any longer.

Learning Made Easy
1 April 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
No Fear Shakespeare was a tremendous help in understanding the play, Julius Caesar. To read Shakespeare in plain English made it easy to take the leap to reading the play in the original language. The side-by-side Shakespearean language next to the plain English translation was especially helpful.
