It's a fun little story but I don't feel it comes to life in the form of a book. I can see that this story would work well on stage, but as a written piece of work it lacks for me.

I really laugh when I read 12th night.
The homoerotic tension between Cesario/Viola and Orsino is so amazingly done and I, in general, enjoy this whole aspect of gender-switching and overall, questioning gender.
However, I'm still very convinced of the fact that Shakespeare is mocking us all with this play. Even though it's listed under love romance it really is rather a play about desire and lust and not love.

Probably my favorite Shakespearean comedy. This is the one where the characters use disguises and gender is confused a lot...oh wait, that's all of them.

My favorite of the comedies- it's got some sadness (poor Sir Andrew), but not so much as the icky Taming of the Shrew. Overall it's fantastic

Romantic love is akin to madness.
This is a comedy for everyone save Malvolio.
Am I the only one who feels bad for the guy?
