- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love Shakespeare! This play was so great! I wanna re-read it!!!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I don't consider myself qualified to review Shakespeare, and my rating is based primarily on modern enjoyment. The beginning was interesting and exciting but it slows in the middle. Hamlet, a man of motivation but little action, quite frankly does nothing throughout the play. His soliloquies are the heart and soul of the story.
