GREAT BOOK!

Macbeth was a good book to read. It had plenty of action, interesting characters, and adventure. I also enjoyed it because it had good verses evil, witches and betrayal. Anyone would enjoy this book. I know I did. Macbeth is about a Scotish nobleman who is also a warrior. While coming home from a battle. He runs into three witches. They tell him some predictions. One of the predictions is that Macbeth will become king. Long story short, the predictions come true, but not without cost. Macbeth and his wife start with killing the king, and taking the throne. From there on out, Macbeth tells many lies, and has many killed. Even close friends. Eventually, however, everything comes back around and Macbeth loses everything he took by evil ways. Fortunately, the good guys win, and the rightful heir regains the throne. I did like this book because it helped me to understand Shakespeare's play. I would not have been able to understand the oringinal writing. The play was a little dark with all the magic and killing, but it reminded me that getting things in the wrong way with lies is never good. To bad Macbeth never learned this. I would give this book *****'s By: Wyatt Age 11 Bothell, WA
