This unique and practical book can help readers not only expand their English vocabulary, improve their reading skills, but also learn a great deal from the sonnets' profound meanings. The appearance of A Study Guide to Shakespeare’s Sonnets with Questions and Answers is significant because Shakespeare is still on the school curriculum. Currently, high school and university students are required to study Shakespeare. People are still fascinated with his works most probably because his timeless storylines and themes continue to inspire the readers, just as Dr. Maggie Trapp says, “ Shakespeare’s language is gorgeous, his characters complex and the themes-- love, honor, betrayal, envy, jealousy, fear, pride, lust, grief-- are still issues that matter to us today.”
