I was very interested and I loved the book I liked Orsino and his actions to his messenger Caesario (Viola’s name that was used to cheer the duke orsino and the lady Olivia up). I would recommend this book to my friends and my family.

I liked this book because of the mischief the children caused it was a funny story and I am glad I read it.

I liked it because the people who were looking at the show tricked the guards. And also I liked that there were pauses in the play and then they talk about something different.
