- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5TOIL AND TROUBLE well meets the incredible challenge of a Shakespeare backstory!Illuminated by astonishing illustrations from the two Matthews, Mairghread Scott weaves new twists into the epic tale of ambition, murder, and revenge.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Why did the witches curse Macbeth? In this version the three witches represent three earlier cultures in Scotland and quarrel over who should succeed King Duncan.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5So freaking cool. I loved getting the witches' perspectives on Macbeth, and I am definitely tempted to read The Scottish Play again. The ending felt rather rushed, but the discussion at the end is brilliant (I'd give this a 4.5). Includes discussion questions if you ever wanted to read as a book club or in the classroom...definitely lots of food for thought!
********
Panels Read Harder: As I have been heartily disappointed with my options for comic-based-on-a-book-and-the-book-it's-based-on, I'm going to read/listen to the actual play of Macbeth (again) and call my Panels Read Harder complete!
