Review of 'The Complete Works of William Shakespeare' on 'Goodreads'

I find myself greatly amused, even with the clunk.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is acknowledged as the greatest dramatist of all time. He excels in plot, poetry and wit, and his talent encompasses the great tragedies of Hamlet, King Lear, Othello and Macbeth as well as the moving history plays and the comedies such as A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Taming of the Shrew and As You Like It with their magical combination of Humoud, ribaldry and tenderness. This volume is s reprint of the highly regarded Shakespeare Head Press edition, and it presents all the plays in the chronological order - as far as may be ascertained - in which they were written. It also includes Shakespeare's Sonnets, as well as his longer poems Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece. --back cover
I find myself greatly amused, even with the clunk.
6 short stories and each of them are very clever and make you think and laugh at the same time.
They almost feel prophetic in a way, a warning about twitter, alien invasions and offline trolling.
My favourite has to be about the man who could talk to his cat, everytime my cat walks into the room it shouts at me and I am always wondering what it's trying to say. I have also experienced being herded towards the cupboard with food.
I have read a few things by David in his beatdom magazines which are always quite serious so it has been nice to read something light hearted by him.
