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.
