Pop Sonnets Reviews

One of the very best collections of pop songs written in the style of William Shakespeare that I've read so far this year!
-Weird Al Yankovic

Pop Sonnets is one of the absolute best of the disreputable breed of impulse-buy humor books. Didriksen brings an authentic dedication to craft and a lively sense of humor to this highly specific project.
-NPR

This is a must-have for literary buffs and music fans alike.
-Paste

You'd expect 'Call Me Maybe' written in 1600s English to be a funny juxtaposition, but it's more than that: it's a catchy, natural reworking that rolls off the tongue.
-Maddie Crum, Huffington Post Books

The Bard of Avon himself would be proud...
-MJ Franklin, Mashable

...hilarious and brilliant...
-Isabella Biedenharn, FlavorWire

Each entry is charming and razor sharp in its appropriation of Elizabethan tropes and terminology.
-The Paris Review

...finally poetry nerds who love pop music have a home online.
-Colin Stutz, SPIN

It's a simple yet ingenious formula...The creativity on display here is delightful.
-Folger Shakespeare Library

Smart and funny...Any reader who is intrigued by this concept will enjoy its fantastically skilled execution.
-Library Journal

This book is made for drinking games or could moonlight as a pub quiz helper, and a well-loved teaching resource.
-Monsters & Critics

To put it mildly, this is a terrific feat of will and intellect.
-Pop Matters

Ingenious is the key word here.
-Free Lance-Star
