I found the first half of the book intriguing and well-written. I was excited about reading the remainder when the pivotal moment happened, and unfortunately what followed was an excruciatingly long, drawn-out section which bogged the story down tremendously. I sped read through the last half to the end. The first half tried to build a sense of mystery and suspense that ended with a "thud" for me.... my response was "Oh, that's obvious."
I would not rate it as a complete loser, but it is certainly not a book I'd recommend to any but the most dedicated reader. I'm not familiar with "Hamlet" beyond overview discussions back in high school, so perhaps it would appeal more to those who would appreciate that perspective.
