Review Detail

Well, that was unexpected. My initial thoughts for this book was that it would be a quick, compelling read that had an interesting take on Shakespeare's "Hamlet". Then I started it. And I found myself annoyed and bored by it, it was not what I expected and I did not enjoy it. However, I kept reading hoping it would get better. And boy did it get better! Once I got to Hamlet's 'to be or not to be' scene everything about the book changed I started making the connections with the play and chaos abounded and I recognized Shakespeare's well known characters and scenes and general sense of madness that Hamlet is so well known for, in essence it became exactly what I thought it would be and I loved it! It makes me really want to see the play...like a lot.

Cover - I hate it. It does not match the book at all. It made me go into the book with uncertain expectations.
