Hamlet is one of Shakespeare's greatest plays, adits hero, the tragic prince caught between action and the consequence, destiny and dream, is his most complex and enigmatic character. --front flap
Definitely distinct from a lot of Shakespeare's other work though, I can understand the conspiracy theories that it wasn't actually written by him.
Nerd fantasy fulfillment, both to its benefit and detriment.
Maybe has a gimmick worth reading, but only if written by an author with more respect for his readers' intelligence. This feels like it's talking down to you all the time it's dragging you through its characters' pain and violence and dumb quips and hollow insights.
(I should know better than rely on Best-of-the-Year picks chosen by poll.)
