A review by samreads12
Ophelia by Lisa M. Klein

4.0

Fast paced and descriptive, Lisa Klein take Shakespeare’s most loved play and makes it her own. Not satisfied with the Ophelia’s story in the original play Hamlet, Kleien expands the character and gives her a life of her own.

Ophelia is independent and always asking questions. She’s brave and headstrong. She questions her role in society and the role women have overall. She’s smart and opinionated.

Ophelia also has insecurities but Klein forces her to wade through her own obstacles to overcome them.

Klein stays true to the original Elizabethan english from the play and even keeps some of the most memorable dialogue from the play and places them in the story.

Klein smoothly twists the story to suit her desire. She adds a plot twist of her own to add more depth to Ophelia and her story.
