Ilustration To Books Hamlet, Prince of Denmark

Listening Length: 9 hours and 40 minutes

It is a tale of ghosts, of madness, of revenge - of old alliances giving way to new intrigues. Denmark is changing, shaking off its medieval past. War with Norway is on the horizon. And Hamlet - son of the old king, nephew of the new - becomes increasingly entangled in a web of deception - and murder.

Struggling to find his place in this strange new order Hamlet tries to rekindle his relationship with Ophelia - the daughter of Elsinore's cunning spy master, a man with plots of his own. Hamlet turns for advice and support to the one person he can trust -- Young Yorick, the slippery, unruly jester, whose father helped Hamlet through a difficult childhood. And all the while the armed forces of Fortinbras, prince of Norway, start to assemble, threatening to bring down Elsinore forever.

Beautifully performed by actor Richard Armitage ("Thorin Oakenshield" in the Hobbit films), Hamlet, Prince of Denmark takes Shakespeare's original into unexpected realms, reinventing a story we thought we knew.

Weigh Up About Books Hamlet, Prince of Denmark

I enjoyed this. It was fun. I recommend it. Hamlet, Prince of Denmark is a reworking of Shakespeare's Hamlet. The story has become more of an action-filled thriller, while the ethical and psychological issues still remain. As explained in the two afterwords, one by each of the two authors, Shakespeare's Hamlet has been reworked, just as what we today most commonly see on the stage is also a reworking of Shakespeare's original. There exist in fact several original versions; scenes and lines

Ah, so good!!! A fantastic reimagining of the well-known tale, and as always, Richard Armitage's involvement just improves things. Absolutely recommended for fans of either Hamlet or RA.

Richard Armitage narrating. Damn, this is really good.

A pretty thoroughly re-imagined story. If you are a purest that thinks that any treatment of this story is an affront to the Bard, then you probably need to move your snobby little self down the aisle to read something else. I thought it was clever, imaginative, and fun. And no one other than Richard Armitage ever should be hired to read a book again. Thorin has the voice.



This was an outstanding book. As the author said in the end notes, it was not his intention to replace the play, but to grow a new thing from it and indeed he did, adding depth and richness to the classic tale about the unintended consequences of our actions and the sword of revenge that cuts both ways.I recommend it.

*5 stars*I'll admit it... I cheated a bit by choosing this to fulfill the classic requirement for a reading challenge. But holy crap!!! This novelization of the play was exciting, fun and best of all, narrated by Richard Armitage. This may not appeal to a Shakespeare scholar but I would wholeheartedly recommend this to someone who's interested in the story of Hamlet but is hesitant to tackle the play. I've read both, I loved both, but I have to admit that this version was way much more fun! Book
