Hamlet "A great joy to read"(sarcastically speaking)

I would not recommend this book to anyone who likes to interpret books. Shakespeare is old and the old English language is hard to understand. The Modern English version still can confuse the most developed minds. It is a great book to read in High School but not Junior High. The book can be interpreted in many different forms, which can also make it very difficult to come up with a straight answer. Fights broke out over who could interpret the book better. So it's not a good idea to read it in a classroom.

Hamlet

I thought that this book was interesting. I had never read the story Hamlet before I read this, and I was able to understand it because it had both English and Shakespeare version. I just read the modern version because once i started to read the Shakespeare version i was not able to understand it so i had to read the modern version again. I am glad that we could read this book and i would recommend it to anybody that wanted to read Shakespeare.

The not so sad Tragedy

This was a great book. I enjoyed it immensely. Hamlet was very clever but was quite a brat. Towards the begining when he was busy feeling sorry for himself, he said he would kill himself if God wasn't against it. But what would Hamlet care. He only murdered about 10 million people throughout the play. To me, Hamlet seemed more of a villian than a hero. In this Shakespeare play a lot of people die but I think the only truly sad dealth was Opelia's. The modern version really helped me get so much more out of the play.

My Review of Hamlet

My reading class read this book for an assignment. It took us about 3-4 weeks. I really did like the modern text next to the Shakespearean text. It also gave more detail than the movie that stars Mel Gibson, which is also good but they speak in the Shakespearean language so it takes some brain power to understand it. This book was very long too. It was very hard to understand in some parts. And like all tradgedy every body dies which is no fun. It needed some footnotes to help us understand what some modern words meant. I never have liked Shakespeare but this book is okay. I would definately recommend it to some one who likes Shakespeare.

a perfect learning resource

this book was a great help to me because of the book format. it was easy to compare the original text and find out what it meant. the transalation was very accurate, following Shakerspeare's original words. it was very helpful to my classmates and i while we studied this WONDERFUL book. the text is right down to a toddler's reading level.
