Shakespeare is possibly the most prominent playwright of all time. So it was with good cause that I approached this novel with scepticism. However, I was pleasantly surprised. John Marsden manages to take a well-known play, a famous play, and give it a spin of its own. The setting remains very much the same, but the characters seem reinvented somehow, fresh off the page. I find myself regarding the story with a whole new perspective.
Who would enjoy this? John Marsden has a particular way of writing, so anybody who enjoyed his previous works (Tomorrow, When the War Began, The Ellie Chronicles etc.) will also enjoy this. Shakespeare lovers will also enjoy the novel.
