    free to good hands
  

*by D***8 on Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2021*

I was recommended a book named "The alchemist", however did not initially ask for the author so I bought this title by accident. In the first few lines of the book the line "I fart at thee" appears. While it was rather amusing and lead to some questions about the recommendations, I slowly made it to pages 14/15 where an exchange of rather creative, old fashioned name calling takes place. That was as far as I was willing to go and for the first time I closed a book with no intend to open it back up. This is written as a play, congratulations if you can stomach reading all the way through, however overall I would consider reading this book torture and a perfect way to punish literature students or misbehaving kids....

    Nicely formatted, easy to read
  

*by T***K on Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2019*

Nicely formatted, easy to read, but this e-book does require patience to lookup archaic word-meanings and historical & cultural allusions (no footnotes or annotations).  Also, a (very) small part of the dialogue is in Spanish, but without English translations...not a big deal, just a minor inconvenience, for most readers, to Google the Spanish-to-English translations.  I enjoy reading Shakespeare, and reading Ben Johnson's "The alchemist" was a similar pleasure--entertaining, funny, and a quick trip back in time that reaffirms that some things about people never change.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Serviceable edition
  

*by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2016*

This is a review of the edition, not the play, which is wonderfully funny. The recent (summer 2016) RSC production was terrific! This edition is a school text which does not fully gloss the play but only some of the difficult words. Presumably a teacher in the classroom could discuss words and passages and so forth. But it served my purpose, which was to review the play before seeing the RSC performance I mentioned--it was thin enough to fit into my suitcase. I don't believe a fuller Arden edition is available, and who could carry around a full scholarly edition of Jonson's plays?
