This is possibly the best book I've ever read. Something I do feel the need to say is that if you have a difficult relationship with your stepparent(s), this may be a difficult read for you. Although it was difficult for me personally to read, it was essential in overcoming my problems. I don't want to get too much into the "me" aspect of this play, but as hard as it was on me, I loved it and felt it was written specifically for me. Hamlet is a very enjoyable protagonist and this play is amazing.

Didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as I did but maybe because it’s my second Shakespeare book it was more enjoyable. Also hamlet was a mood sometimes.
