I can't find anything bad to say about it and I've read through it--piece by piece, section by section--what must amount to at least five or six times. Sound advice and (understated to say 'knowledgeable'-this man's a walking encomium on the style and Form of Shakespeare and he backs up his love for the genius of the technique logically and with proof) well written; in my opinion one of THE source-books on how to investigate the text and gather the pearls hidden within. I especially love his story about directing Dustin Hoffman as Shylock in MOV. So much for the Method maxim:"forget about The Words; just 'feel it'". :) I agree.
