Negative Positive
Title: Not worthy of the association with Hamlet
Review: I read this book for a paper I was writing regarding the use of YA novels in helping students better understand Shakespeare's play Hamlet. This book does a poor job at reflecting the true story. It completely twists Shakespeare's plot and characters in an undesirable way. Fiedler completely removes the tradgedy from the play. This story has no value and fails to address the key themes and dillemas that the original has to offer. Michelle Ray's Falling for Hamlet is a much better choice and is executed beautifully. I would recommend reading that version over this one.
