I'm not sure its possible to review this book without writing a spoiler. Perhaps its enough to say that the author has engaged in some revisionist fictional history. Unless the reader is familiar with Shakespeare's version, a reader might develop some misconceptions about the original characters and plot on reading this book. (

OH good old orsom scott card, what have i ever expected from you? it doesnt even deserve half of the star, istg, if dont you want hamlet ruined for you, stay away from this book. i mean,,, in any other case, just dont read it, its not worth it.

I'm astounded that this got published in the first place. Here's a straightforward review of some of the novella's problems. I can't say I ever read [b:Hamlet|1420|Hamlet|William Shakespeare|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1298411661s/1420.jpg|1885548] and thought, y'know what this needs? Less emotional, moral and linguistic complexity, more barely serviceable prose and homophobia. I mean, that just never crossed my mind. I guess that kind of out-of-the-box thinking is why Card can charge $35 for a novella.

What I liked- I am a fan of Orson Scott Card overall. This wasn’t his best work but it wasn’t his worst either. I thought it was a very interesting idea and it was, overall, well done.

What I didn’t like- I can only say that it was very weird. Bordering on too weird. And predictable. After the first chapter I had a pretty good idea what was going on. (
