Prepubescent giggles and scenic-route tangents weave throughout a narrative of classic, often misread sonnets. Had someone understanding of poetic structure and form been available to speak to these sonnets, this could have been an entertaining, enlightening, informative podcast. Rather it plays out like a “good idea” gone bad, born of brew at a local pub crawl. Two-stars ONLY for the effort of seeing it through to completion.

A Missed Opportunity

The readers of the sonnets in this compilation are uniformly awful. They ignore punctuation, pause when they shouldn&#39;t, mispronounce words (&#39;doth&#39;), rush through the poetry as if they were on a deadline, and reflect no understanding of the text at all. The readings destroy the beauty, meaning and complexity of Shakespeare&#39;s words. While it is a great idea to compile a recording of all the sonnets, one must give them their due by hiring readers who, at minimum, understand and respect Shakespeare&#39;s texts.

Readers are mechanical, reflect no sense of the poetry
