Read in my AP lit class. I'm edgy, and this play was lowkey too edgy for me, but the play was well written! I hated how fast the ending was though.

read this book for school. before reading, i did not see why people would want to study this play. 
now i do! shakespeare's prose is wonderful and hamlet is so absurd sometimes that i knew i wanted to find out what happened next .

Didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as I did but maybe because it’s my second Shakespeare book it was more enjoyable. Also hamlet was a mood sometimes.
