Of all the shakespeare books I have read this was definitely the worst one. There was not one remotely interesting part of the whole play.

I love how we could describe this book in a few sentences, yet not one word is wasted here. I enjoyed every bit of it and didn't regret reading this, even though it was an optional read for the lit course. I am not the biggest Shakespeare fan, and I never will be, but the pieces are still enjoyable.

I liked the double revenge thing our boy Shakespeare had going on, and I now finally have the context to the famous quote: "To be or not to be?" + Hamlet should have listened to his friend.
