Book Reviews of Hamlet (Signet Classics)

Book Review: Villainous Headbone Claphole
Summary: 5 Stars

In the past, I have never been too crazy about Shakespeare. The big words confused me, the plot lines bored me, just generally bad stuff, so needless to say I wasn't looking forward to reading Hamlet this year in my 12th grade English IV class. However (and dont ask me how) THIS year, things were different. Suddenly, I knew what all the words were, and I understood the plotline, and I must say, I now LOVE this play! But I am VERY annoyed at some of things I've heard that belittle Shakespeare and his works, so allow me to elaborate.

Yes, we all realize that it is difficult to read, but if you dont like it, dont read it! Dont sign online and spend the money you worked so hard at the gas station to earn, just so you can show your complete lack of intellect during the 3-minute break between "World's Deadliest Swarms" and "Real Stories of the Highway Patrol." You come off as a childish, whitebread yokel who probably tries to break anything you dont understand. However, realize that this review doesn't apply to everyone. I understand there are those out there who HAVE an education, who UNDERSTAND Hamlet, and for their own reasons, they dont like it. Though my thoughts surely differ, at least their opinions are valid, and they know who they are (such as the person who read Hamlet several times, and has seen countless productions of it.).

This review only applies to the uneducated, trailer-trash, intellectually devoid souls out there who connected to this here newfangled internet thingy just to flap their gums and prove how ignorant they are about the ways of the world. If you are one of these people, you'd best turn around, cuz the new Fox lineup is just starting! Yee-haw!

Now in summation, let me state again that I firmly believe that William Shakespeare is one of the greatest playwrites in history, and Hamlet, in my opinion, is his greatest work.

Summary of Hamlet (Signet Classics)

There is arguably no work of fiction quoted as often as William Shakespeare's Hamlet. This haunting tragedy has touched audiences for centuries. Now Bruce Coville makes this play the next of his dynamic adaptations of the Bard for the young. Once again, he expertly incorporates essential lines from the play into his own rich prose to tell the tale of the ill-fated Prince of Denmark. Acclaimed artist Leonid Gore adds intense, dreamlike images in acrylic and pastel. His depictions of Hamlet, Ophelia, and the rest of the kingdom are revelatory and unforgettable, helping to make this masterful volume a treasure for Shakespeare enthusiasts old and new.
