                                                             Hamlet
The story starts with the father of hamlet the king of Denmark. He was married and had only one kid Prince hamlet her mothers name was Gertrude. The king of Denmark had a brother his name was Claudius he was always jealous from the king and wondered why he wasn't the king of Denmark. He wanted to kill the king but first step that he had to take was to win the heart of Gertrude Hamlets mother. He succeeded and they together decided to kill the king with poison. One night the king was going to bed after a long day he went to sleep and in his room was hiding Claudius he had poison with him he dropped a few drops of poison in the king ear, and the next morning everyone woke only to see the king was dead...

Hamlet was so frustrated and sad and wanted to know who killed his father. Claudius became the king of Denmark after the of hamlets father and Claudius married Gertrude. And hamlet got more upset to the point that he actually wanted to commit suicide, but Claudius and Gertrude try to cheer up hamlet.
Then one day hamlet sees a ghost and the ghost was his father. 
He says to hamlet that he was murdered by Claudius at first he doesn't believe what he saw but he swore to the ghost that he will take revenge.
The next day hamlet tells to his friends Horatio and Marcellus what he saw the other day he says that he will kill Claudius but he will act crazy to avoid some suspicion.
After that hamlet meets a girl named Ofelia. Ofelia was hamlets girlfriend. When they met hamlet goes crazy telling Ofelia that he never loved her and simple acted crazy because Claudius had hired Ofelias father Polonius to spy on hamlet that led to Ofelia going crazy.
Hamlet finally made a plan on how to know for 100% that Claudius killed his father. He hires a group of actors to preform a play. In the play someone kills a king with poison drops to the ear hamlet wanted to see Claudius's reaction. Gertrude and king Claudius go to the play when the play starts gertrude and claudius seem scared because it is the entire plan that they ha when they killed the king. In the middle of the play claudius gets furious and leaves the play, And that leads to fact that claudius killed the king.
Hamlet goes after claudius and sees claudius in his room crying praying and begging god to forgive him. Hamlet doesn't murder him there because he says that he might die and go to heaven now, but hamlet wants him to go to hell. Hamlet goes to see hes mother and he went to tell her that how bad things that she had done to him, Gertrude gave premision to polonius to hide behind the curtain and hear the entire conversation. Hamlet goes mad at that point where gertrude starts to fear him an calls for help and from behind the curtain polonius cries help hamlet knew that behind the curtain was claudius so he grabbed his sword and put a sword into polonius not knowing that it wasn't claudius. At that moment hamlet sees his fathers spirit and the spirit tells him to hurry up and kill claudius, but claudius sends hamlet to England and tells to hamlet that he is sending him there because he needs to relax but he sent a message with the message said to king of England to kill hamlet, in the ship hamlet finds message changes it. Then one day their ship gets attacked by pirates and the pirates take hamlet and bring him back to Denmark. So claudius thinks of a new way to kill hamlet a way that will seem like an accident. Over the death of polonius Ofelia goes mad and his brother Laertes blames Hamlet for it and he and Claudius make a plan together Laertes will challenge hamlet to a fencing match but laertes will have a poisoned sword. One day Gertrude brings some new that Ofelia had drowned in a swamp and laertes get more furious and angry.                                                     When hamlet arrives to Denmark he goes to find Claudius on his way he sees a big funeral he goes to check it out he sees Claudius Gertrude and laertes there and asks what happened and then only to realize that the funeral was for Ofelia. Hamlet loses his mind and asks how did it happen laertes was so furious and tells to hamlet that he never loved her he never loved anyone and both of them end up in a big fight on who loved Ofelia more. Then laertes invites hamlet to a fencing match and hamlet accepts it.
The next day hamlet arrives to the match and on the table was the poisoned sword that laertes had had. Claudius offers hamlet a cup of wine hamlet doesn't drink it because he knew he had poisoned it the match begins and hamlet gets the first strike as Claudius was watching gertrude drinks from the poisoned cup of wine before Claudius could stop him. Laertes finally gets his first shot and leaves hamlet poisoned both of their sword fall and in that process they switch sword and hamlet kills laertes with poisoned sword. Gertrude and laertes die from the poison and hamlet walks up to Claudius to kill him. Claudius tells hi that he had poisoned the sword then hamlet stabs Claudius with the poisoned sword and makes him drink the poisoned wine. And they both die together. Then Fortnbras arrives the prince of Norway only to see that the entire royal family had died and then he claimed himself as the king Denmark.
This book was one of the most interesting books I have ever read. It was well paced and the entire story made sense. It made me hype up a little in end because it was very well written. I would definitely give a 8.5 out of 10. I would suggest you to read but the original one is very very hard you can read the unoriginal one online. And I wouldn't change anything from the book.
