All the stars to the play! 

One of my all-time favorites from Shakespeare and an insanely entertaining and insightful play. Hamlet has some of the best witty remarks, hardest disses and just all-around masterful wordplays. To annotate the best parts would leave the whole book fully underlined. 

I recommend this to everyone. Especially to listen to or to actually watch the play (YouTube has some good ones, too!) 
I listened this fully dramatized and it is such a treat! 
(I don’t even mind that I needed to read this for school)

Read in my AP lit class. I'm edgy, and this play was lowkey too edgy for me, but the play was well written! I hated how fast the ending was though.

read this book for school. before reading, i did not see why people would want to study this play. 
now i do! shakespeare's prose is wonderful and hamlet is so absurd sometimes that i knew i wanted to find out what happened next .
