William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Clueless (Pop Shakespeare)

I love these books! Clueless is a 90s classic! Gotta love a good Shakespearean twist!

Ian Doescher, who set all nine Star Wars mainline films as Shakesperian plays has turned his attention to pop teenage movies (the others are Back to the Future and Mean Girls). Clueless offers challenges to his attempt too keep grounded in the 90s—the 1590s—despite references to malls and such. It is all fun and sticks close to the film for the most part, even to including some of the songs from the soundtrack revisioned as Shakesperian ballads but still singable if one can decode them.

This was really cute, and so well done. The movie is my favorite and I am always up for anything Clueless!

It's Shakespeare + Jane Austen in a Clueless-set-in-the-1690s-way. Was there anything for me not to love?No. There really wasn't.I don't know what else to say. This book is Clueless in iambic pentameter with more inside jokes than you can shake a stick at. I probably only got 25% of them and still loved it. The only thing that would make this book better is a study guide to help me spot all the easter eggs and and references and inside jokes. But I'm not going to hold it against the book and my rating. ;)
