I would recommend this book to people who’s enjoy reading about battles. My favourite character was Malcolm.
I liked how it was a Shakespeare story
The plot was exciting. Everything the witches predicted came true.
Macbeth was at war and the three witches awaited. They told him his future that their was an obstacle between him and the crown.He immediately told his wife,Lady Macbeth , Killing the King
My favourite character was Macduff because he killed Macbeth ended everyone’s suffering. I would recommend this book because it’s a quick read and very interesting.
this book had a very sinister and cruel storyline which ended terrifyingly i definitely recommend this book.
I like it when the witches come out and tell Macbeth that he is king.I don’t like it when lady Macbeth tells Macbeth to kill the king.I also like it when the characters get angry because I think it’s funny
it is a good book I recommend it
A good book because of the illustrations and it’s small but it says the story as it should be told. I think it’s brilliant for young learners of Shakespeare.
I enjoyed reading this book, I just gave it 4 stars. It did interest me because the story was historical(not completely) and how Macbeth was killed by Macduff because Macbeth murdered most of Macduff's family. This book represents a classical tragedy. I probably recommend this book to someone else.
I like this book because of All the magic and the war
It was very intresting.It is fiction.
Macbeth is about a man (Macbeth) and his wife (lady macbeth) who kill the King of Scotland (king duncan)
I highly recommend this book to everyone in the world. The best part of the book for me was when the whiches hypnotised Macbeth.
I think it was a amazing tale about how good can conker a man evil heart
It shows us Scottish history of Macbeth and his rise to power and became 3rd in line to the throne of Scotland. Macbeth became a bit big for his boots and defeated king Duncan in battle .I would suggest this for 8 + as it is a Shakespeare story and it has good vocabulary.
Lady Macbeth was my favourite because she causes Macbeth to kill the king. I would recommend it yes.
I enjoyed Macbeth because the moral or the story is, don't be greedy or believe prophecies. If you do come to power, don't be a tyrant.
Horrific
All right
I think it is a fiction story because it talks about castles and witches.
The morale of the stroy is not to listen to the evil things that people say.
Like it.
I like this book becsuse I like the three witches that know Macbeth is going to be the king of Scotland.
it was good.i really enjoyed it but it was gross in some parts. i would recommend this to others
Good old Shakespeare. Lovely story, very wicked plot, just amazing nothing more to say about it. Would recommend to people older than 9.
I liked the witches song, double, double, toil and trouble
It was fiction and what I liked the most was how dramatic and mysterious the book was. I also liked the fact in the end, the main character died because you don't get that in some books.
I like this story because it is quite the thriller and is quite gruesome.
Very unfortunate death
I was hard to understand but mum helped and explain it
