This is really useful in actually understanding what Othello is about because it puts all the Shakespearean stuff in plain English side by side. Prior to reading this, I’d been reading the original text without the English ‘translation’ and I thought I was already quite familiar with the play. On reading the No Fear Shakespeare edition of Othello, I realised I didn’t quite know it as well as I thought I did.

If you’re taking an exam on Othello (like me), it’s a good idea to get this book because it helps a lot with comprehension.

Too much on the different parts of the mind and how they work and too little on how to actually “improve memory, beat procrastination, increase energy and more”

This book has LOTS of quotes. If you like quotes and stories, this is a book for you. It mostly talks about self acceptance, forgiveness and happiness with many personal stories, anecdotes, and references to other self-help books/authors.

Overall I’d say it was a good read, touches on various topics but doesn’t go very much in depth on each.

I didn’t get much out of this book. It’s a little too weird for me ;x

I thought it was really boring. Didn’t feel it was worth my time getting through the rest of the book.
