      No one is stupid, unless they are unwilling to learn. This person has took the initiative to try to learn this literature in a different way. If it helps them accomplish success, then so be it. We all learn in different ways.

    These voice actors are amazing! I especially like whoever voices Hamlet and Polonius. I wish I knew their names. I keep trying to watch Hamlet movies but none of the actors deliver their lines quite as well as this audiobook which is really impressive!

    I'm here bc it's my mum's fav Shakespeare. She says it's due to the complexity. I guess I'm about to find out how complex then. (For those who are curious, my fav is Romeo and Juliet whereas my cat daughter Corinne's is Macbeth. Loving Shakespeare clearly runs in the family maternally.)

    hamlet is a trash book I'm only here because I have to do this for school. I would much rather do just about anything else including watching the grass grow outside of my house. I think about ripping my hair out of my head every time I hear the words of this horrific book. It fatigues my brain and wastes my time. Again, let me reiterate that I would be so much happier if this book was out of my life. :)
