Hamlet is a story about the trials and tribulations of a troubled boy after seeing the ghost of his dead father. The story follows Hamlet through his life and how one supernatural sighting drives him almost mad. This story takes place in the time of castles and kings and queens in the country of Denmark; this book fits into the genre of mystery.

Opinion: 

To be or not to be? That is a phrase that everyone has heard of at least once, yet it probably had nothing to do with Hamlet. This newly written version of William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" is wonderfully written so that anybody could pick the book up and read it without being confused by old english words. The plot follows the original play so anyone who loved the play by Shakespeare will love this. I had not read the original, and it still held my interest through the entire book.

Hamlet had a few sexual references, so I would recommend that the parents check it out first.
