a disrespect to Shakespear

The stories are based on Shakespear's great works, however the words are changed and dumbed down to the point it barely resembles the real thing. In addition the voices are quite annoying and forced and just add to the shallowness of the reading.

Too sugar coated

This audiobook takes away too much of the Shakespeare parts of the plays and dumbs them down too much for children. The dialogue is so changed that it doesn’t even resemble the plays lines anymore. Would not recommend this even to children. They would find this too over the top.
