Gratz wittily aligns the plot points and cunningly recasts the central roles of Hamlet in this account of Horatio's summer vacation with the dysfunctional Prince family. Readers new to Hamlet along with those well-versed in the Danish heir's tribulations can appreciate the ironic voice, fast-paced action, and surprise ending in this tale of murder and mayhem with an environmentalist twist.
