Henry V

the Shakespeare Appreciated series is outstanding

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to get the most out of Shakespeare. The commentary and its historical notes and explanatory comments open up the text to everyone. Particularly recommended for students who need to read Shakespeare.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. Best to take it by chunks to digest the acts/scenes.

Any additional comments?

Wish there were more Shakespeare plays in this series.

Awesome Study Aide and Excellent Performances

Just terrific. Enough background and footnote type commentaryso that at no point are you bored or lost. Terrific for the Shalespeare novice. Listen to this and then watch the film or see the play and you will appreciate Shakespeare. My only complaint is that Smart Pass do not have more of Shakespeare's plays available yet in this ingenious format.

Henry V is a great listen

The play is terrific, and the comments really help to put the play in perspective.

first experience with Shakespeare read aloud

Would you listen to Henry V again? Why?

This was fantastic. I am very experienced with Shakespeare but my son (14) who hasn't had much Shakespeare and struggles reading and my husband with little to no Shakespeare experienced all enjoyed it.

What did you like best about this story?

This version has inter-dispersed explanations of the story and history and wording which I found perfectly timed and well done. The voices were different enough to tell the characters apart. Although it was very long, the story was understood and the knowledge gained was fabulous.

Which scene was your favorite?

Henry sneaking among the men

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Very inspirational, good leadership portrayed
