Summary: Great piece of Literary work
Review: I thought this book was one of the most interesting pieces of work that Shakespeare has written that I have read yet. I would recommend to anyone who has a lot of spare times on his or her hands to read this Shakespearean play because it will take a lot of time to read this piece of work. You have to take the time and want to be able to understand this before you can say whether or not you like or dislike anything written by Shakespeare. To fully understand this play you have to understand the way it was written and take the time to look up what words that you do not fully understand. I t will help you to get a hold of some Cliff's Notes to help you along while reading this play. But I would recommend to anyone to pick up a copy of Hamlet and read it. It is a great learning experience and a way to appreciate a great piece of literary work. If Shakespeare was alive today, I think this review would make him very happy to know that young adults are reading his work and that many of them really appreciate it for what it is. I really would recommend this to anyone.

Summary: Intense and true to life
Review: I played Ophelia at the Alliance, and was able to thoroughly study the text. It really opens up a window into human emotion. It was rather hard to understand, but you will get something out of it every time you open it.

Summary: A wonderful film diary and companion to the movie.
Review: This is a must have for Kenneth Branagh fans! Very professional package, signed by Branagh. A wonderful companion book to the stunning film version of Hamlet.

Summary: The best of Shakespeare and most likely the greatest play.
Review: This is a play without an equal. The words that Shakespeare wrote some 400 years ago still ring fresh and true with every reading. This was the play I read in high school and dreaded it because of the stories and because I had already read some others and didn't care much for them. But with Hamlet my eyes opened, and I saw the sheer brilliance.Whereever you are Bill, helluva story.

Summary: What Dreams HAVE Come...
Review: Fascinating as well as amusing because of Branagh's own subtexts. Apart from being Hamlet, he focuses the thoughts behind the lines of other figures and gives more devices of his interpretation of the great drama. And more, his own rememberances of the preface are worth the book alone. The signature edition is marvellous and beautifully made. Get it while it is available!

Summary: Simply the Best
Review: i have to confess that i LOVE all of Shakespeare's works. Yet "Hamlet" delights me most of all. This is easily the best-written of any Shakespeare play, and it may very well be one of the best plays ever to boot. The characterization is superb, the plot is exciting. . . and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern deserve a mention. if you don't believe me, read "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" by Tom Stoppard. It gives the average reader an even greater appreciation of Shakespeare's literary genius (as if THAT were possible!).

Summary: I Loved This Book!!!
Review: This book is an excellent way to read Shakespeare. The many "Foreign" words and phrases of old english are explained on the facing page. Shakespeare is not that difficult to read, it just takes some practice. This book helps a lot.

Summary: A great classic and behind the scenes look at the film.
Review: A great classic paired with Kenneth Branagh's behind the scene notes on the making of the film "Hamlet". A great gift for one who adores Shakespeare and Kenneth Branagh. It is a thrill to own this limited edition signed by Branagh.

Summary: Possibly Shakespeare's greatest socio-political play.
Review: While many people say not to attempt to draw parallels between Shakespeare's time, Hamlet can show what ambition can do to a person even into the 21st century. I find Hamlet to be a stunning play which can be well used to teach creative writing, prose and the politics of feudal life.

Summary: Superb, but I still don't think it is his best
Review: I'm probably committing a crime by saying this, but Hamlet is not my favorite play by good ol' Bill. It is definitely up there though and I can completely understand why it is so well liked. Next to MacBeth, no play in history has topped Hamlet. A bit complicated to read however at first. As for the 1996 film it is DEFINTELY the best film version of the play ever made. One of the best films of the 90's.
