I really enjoyed this retelling. The thing that made it lose 5 stars was for the first part it was in modern english, then when we entered part 2 (where the play begins) we switch between modern and Shakespearean english. I understand this is to follow the play and its lines, but it really throws off the flow of the book. 

If you loved Dead Poets Society, you will love this
