"As Shakespeare would say, you might think, this be madness, yet there is a method in 't."—Newsday
"...a quirky addition to the genre-busting canon..."—Entertainment Weekly
"..another smart tribute fans will enjoy."—The Star-Ledger

"Doescher’s pseudo-Shakespearean language is absolutely dead-on; this is one of the best-written Shakespeare parodies created for this audience and it is absolutely laugh-out-loud funny for those familiar with both The Bard and Star Wars." --School Library Journal
