I read this for university, and to be honest, it was fine. It was sometimes difficult to maintain concentration. I just think that sometimes literature can get too old for me. The last half was very exciting.

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

and ‘twas the miscommunication trope was born. 
I read this for school and overall I enjoyed it. Miscommunication truly just irks me so it wasn’t my favorite. However, Iago, the villain, is a fantastically written character.
