This version of Hamlet is infinitely less dense than the original, but it's breezy Cal-speak tone just doesn't impart the weight of the story. It's definitely a very dumbed-down take, to its (and the reader's) detriment. It's very difficult to see the rich character of Hamlet -- conflicted, three-dimensional, articulate -- turned into a college student who interjects "like" into her sentences. None of the characters in this remake is very well developed, or all that likable, so the book comes across as a poor imitator in comparison to the original. Zindel also takes liberties with the plot, which does nothing to enhance the story... If anything, it makes it even more trite and glib.
I'd recommend that readers start with the original before moving on to this contemporary take, otherwise their view of Hamlet might be slightly clouded. ( )
