Falling for Hamlet

358 pp. | Little | July, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-316-10162-2 $17.99
(4) YA This creative reimagining of Hamlet casts Ophelia as the celebrity girlfriend of the Danish king's paparazzi-pestered son. The narrative is from Ophelia's perspective; this time around, she lives to tell her tale (the plot otherwise adheres to the original, more or less). There's fun in the parallels, but setting the story against a backdrop of shallow celebrity culture does diminish its psychological depth.
