ophelia by lisa klein

Not Recommended: This book took the story of Hamlet and told it from Ophelia's point of view. I had never read or heard the whole story of Hamlet, which I believe did not help me appreciate this book. I did not think it was very creative because it was still set in the same time as the original Hamlet. If you are going to write a book (especially for teenagers), it needs to be applicable to their lives. I think this book would have been amazing if she told this story using a modern-day setting with which teens could identify. The author also tried to add her own ending which also just didn't work. She brought in new characters who I didn't care about. Not worth reading.
