When it comes to Irish literature, it would appear that I favour Irish plays over poetry or prose. Theatre in Ireland played quite a significant part in the campaign for an Irish Ireland, and is a strong medium for expressing Ireland's own cultural nation ... Read review

Advantages: A great story and one that will definitely stick in your mind
Disadvantages: Shakespeare can be hard to read but you'll quickly pick it up!

The best, in my opinion, of all Shakespeare's works. With the most incredible story it tells of a young Prince of Denmark dealing with the death of his father. His Mother has married his uncle and he feels absolutely torn apart. He is told by a ghost ... Read review

With the violence part you missed out about the last fight that was actually one of the more important scenes, You have written a lot for the plot and ruined the ned which defeats the point of a review it is more of a summary of the book :S Sorry to be picky but just some friendly advice :D by twatts2612

I think you may come to appreciate this book more on a second reading in later years, however I understand your frustation with reading this for exam purposes. by daffydill
