alex_henault's review against another edition
2.0
I needed something to listen to at work so I thought I would give this a go. I enjoyed it as I listened. However, when I stopped listening at the end of the day I never went back to it. I decided I would rather listen to Hamlet than a water downed version. To be fair I never finished this story so it could have improved, but I rather doubt it.

Hilariously bad
The premise is an explanation--of sorts--for Hamlet's continuous dawdling, but written badly. The writing by itself is strange and the narrative is interrupted often by Orson Scott Card's personal views of... well, no need to repeat them here since we all know that they are. Contrary to the brief summary, there really is no twist on this Shakespearean classic; the "twist" is only a reiteration of Mr Card's personal views. I found the whole thing predictable.
I couldn't sleep last night and had forgotten my current reads at the office, so a friend sent an audible code for this novella with the note "for shits and giggles." And I did have a good laugh, not because it's funny but because it got published and you're expected to pay money for it. Hilarious.
