3.0

A unique story focused on the Israel-Palestine conflict through the lens of Hamlet. 
Very intriguing writing using a theatre production of Hamlet to convey underlying meanings of the conflict in Israel-Palestine. A good book for theatre nerds or people who want fiction based in Palestine and focused on Palestinian perspective of the war. But there are a lot of unnecessary details about the protagonist who by the way is so unbearably dull. The audiobook narrator is simply horrendous and I think I lost so much of the charm of this book because the narrator straight up botched the reading. There are no inflections, it’s just read in a monotone. Overall, interesting plot but please don’t get the audio version on audible.
