Brings the story to life but cuts out some dialogue
Hamlet is my all time favorite of Shakespeare's plays and I was a bit dubious when I picked it up at the library simple because I like the original version so much.Luckily I wasn't disappointed. While it does lack some of the quality of the orginal I thought it was a brilliant adaptation. The art style fits well and I especially found Ophelia's sudden descent into madness and suicide to be both very pretty and every chilling.

The stars are for the wonderfully powerful artwork of this graphic novel. Yet I personally do not care for the adaptation of Shakespeare into graphic novel form. I miss all the narrative and description in the original Shakespeare. On the other hand, I can see how a graphic novel could get younger readers more interested in the classics. It is a quicker introductory format that will hopefully get them to explore the originals.
