Customer Reviews
A come-back for all occasions.
As a senior in high school who loves all of the Shakespearian plays, this book is the best of the best for all those startlingly brazen, but hilariously funny one liners. It is a book I heartily recommend to those who are tired of bland comebacks and moronic, disgusting insults that make you gag, roll your eyes, and wish you could show that person how it's really done. Also, if you are a person who does not like to cuss and swear there is a whole plethora of words and phrases that you can use against that someone who just won't take a hint.
This compilation of insults from all of Shakespeare's works has been put together wonderfully, and the overview of how and where to perfectly place your insult is a great help. If you want to sound smart, be funny, and get the upper hand in a battle of wits this book is a must read.
