One of Shakespeare's most famous play wrights, the story follows a character called Hamlet who is saddened by his father's death and angered when the ghost of his father tells him his uncle had murdered him. Hamlet goes in a downward spiral breaking his relationships and even killing some people in order to prove and murder his uncle. The story of Hamlet has action and is an ironic story involving deceit and suspense made for the avid reader. I would give this book 4 out 5 as a result of it’s story, it may be tedious at times but makes up for that during moments of intense confrontation between opposing characters. This book may entice readers that are interested in the macabre and want a good story with a deep plot. @selfhelpguru of the Hamilton Public Library Teen Review Board Hamlet is another famous story by Shakespeare. The fictional tale is about a man named Hamlet, who is the son of the deceased King of Denmark. After the King’s death, Hamlet’s uncle quickly marries the King’s widow and takes over the throne. This disturbs the Danish Prince, but what adds to his troubles is the fact that he soon begins to see his father’s ghost, who tells him about his treacherous uncle. The ghost encourages Hamlet to avenge his father’s death, which causes a lot of drama. The story is quite dark, and at times, it makes one wonder whether or not the protagonist has gone completely insane. However, in spite of its basic plot, there is a lot of complexity due to the number of characters and their development over time. The drama is also complemented with lots of action. I really enjoyed the story, and I would say that this is my favourite work of Shakespeare. This is why I would give it 4.5 stars. @Riveting_Reviews of the Hamilton Public Library Teen Review Board
