At the beginning of the book it tell you who the characters are in the story. Provides the reader with new words which are used in the book. I think the exercises are brilliant as it encourages the readers to do further research on William Shakespeare. Macbeth was a soldier of Duncan and he works his way up to becoming Thane of Cawdor. Lady Macbeth has big influence on him to murder Duncan and become King. A battle emerges and Macbeth is defeated by Malcolm Duncan's son

Has excellent quizzes to test your knowledge for each chapter. There is a project that readers can undertake. Liked the that it was published in comic book format really helps the reader to capture the imagination of the story
