Reviews
Bruh, I REALLY expected this to be clever. It wasn't. At all. The idea is dope - but serious, tho' - the execution is triflin', y'all. Not even an attempt to make the "ebonics" (and I use that term as loosely as I can, because the majority of the substitution is, literally "dems", "does" and "hoes", not an attempt to throw in actual ebonics. Ugh.). For God's sake, at least be clever!!! If I can get my money back, I will. I' m not even sure I can give less than a star. If you you are a fan of Shakespearean parody or mashups - I am warning you, in all seriousness, DO NOT buy this book. I read two scenes, and it is now in my trash can. Go look at Two Gentlemen of Lebowski, Ministers of Grace of The Shakespearean Star Wars.
