not bad! the only reason i wanted to read this was so i could watch the 2001 version of the movie with josh hartnett in it (because i'm obsessed with josh hartnett), and i'm glad the book wasn't bad! even though all the men were terrible, i thought the women were actually pretty great. 

also, if you're like me, and you hate infidelity in books, it doesn't actually happen. i didn't find it very triggering at all!

This was a reread ready for class. I love the characters and their development and don't have many major faults

I understand why people see this as a powerful play, but it somehow felt flat...

Iago is one of the most compelling villains I've ever seen, period. Fascinating – definitely my favorite Shakespeare play.
