it was a bit boring
I thought that this book was very romantic
I think it had to much love in it
it is funny because they get in love with random people titania get in love with a donkey
I liked puck who's a little elf, and caused some trouble. He was suppose to give the love potion to Titania but instead he gave it to Lysander which made him love Helena who didn't!
i would recommend this book to people who like comedy. I found it intresting but you might find it funny!
I liked all of it

Good book, I read It pretty quickly though, too short!
This book was really fabulous and my favourite character was Hermia. This book is amazing for 5+ year olds
It was a funny story with 2 worlds, a fairy and a human world. Due to a spell the queen falls in love with a strange creature called Bottom. I would definitely recommend it.
