William Shakespeare All Books Editorial Review
A customer review of Hamlet Hardcover highlights the fact that familiarity with Elizabethan language and historical allusions is important for comprehension and appreciation of the play. It suggests reading an annotated version of the play to get the most out of it. The review recommends both reading and watching performances of the play, with a preference for the 1996 Kenneth Branagh film version, which is visually stunning and features celebrated actors, or the 1990 Zeffirelli version at half the length. It suggests that the title role should be played by a younger actor to better convey the character's struggles with grief, betrayal and suicidal musings, and make more sense of his actions. The editorial review calls Hamlet the "big kahuna" of Shakespeare plays, saying that it is a joy to read all of Shakespeare's words. The review claims that Hamlet has some of Shakespeare's most beautiful poetry and most searching philosophy, and that the play made sense to the reviewer for the first time when viewed through the lens of a young adult character.
