Book Reviews of The Beggar's Opera (Penguin Classics)
Book Review: a jutaposing of ideals
Summary: 4 Stars
I would like to take this chance to recommend this book to everyone. This book stands head and shoulders above the rest and I bought it for only a couple of quid. A brilliant satirical parodying and ironic novel with dialogue snappier than most seinfeld episodes and which all writers should read and certainly most readers should. It was interesting to learn more about romanticism and than instilled a better knowledge and insight into the period, just untilately which all great books should do is to make the reader enthusiatic which i am certainly am after reading this, cheers amazon but my biggest thanks must go to you John Gay
