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.

SO GOOD!!!
I first read Hamlet in high school 4 years ago and didn't really like it, now I read it again for university and.. wow. I can't believe I missed all those absolutely brilliant parts in my first read (16-yo me was quite dreading it). I've never been this entertained while reading a play, now I really get the gist of Shakespeare's fame.
