Hamlet Hamlet Review By PokeJoe on Nov 04, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

"Hamlet" is a classic William Shakespeare novel. It follows young Hamlet, who is out to seek revenge for the murder of his father, King Hamlet. It's shorter than your average fiction novel, but contains all of the makings of a great story. It has love,vengence, trickery and murder all rolled into one small classical package. The writing style may be a bit hard for some to swallow, but versions of the book are available with modern day translations as well as the original wording. If you don't think you could make heads or tails of the olde english I would reccemoend one with both translations so you can take in the entirety of the story. Everyone should read Hamlet at least once in their lives, if not to just catch all the allegory in modern day works.
