This is my second read of Hamlet. The first time I read this I was in high school and I loved it then. When people ask me which is my favorite Shakespeare play, I say Hamlet and I wanted to find out 10 years later if that was still true. I'm happy to report I still love it. 

I read alongside watching Andrew Scott's Hamlet production which was just incredible. The modern take on this classic story whilst keeping the same Shakespearean language worked so well.  Shakespeare is really meant to be watched and finding the right adaptation goes a long way.
