Ophelia by Lisa M. Klein
4.0
If I have to choose which one of Shakespeare's tragidies is my favorite I'd hands down and without a doubt choose Hamlet. It's been my favorite tragey by Shakespeare from the moment i got introduced to his works, which was a long time ago.
Before reading the book I watched the movie Ophelia, which is not the right thing to do I know. Most of the time I read the book then watch the movie, but I completley forgot that I had this book and that the movie was specifically based on this.
Anyway, It was so refreshing that both book and movie were from Ophelia's PoV. I always loved this character next to Hamlet of coourse and how the procedures led her to madness.
I liked that the author wanted to focus on Ophelia and her actions, although the ending was changed from the original story but I didn't mind it at all.
Definitely recommed this book the those who love Shakespeare and retellings.
