To Be or Not To Be: A Chooseable-Path Adventure by Ryan North
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The book was a fun read. I first did Hamlet Sr, then Ophelia, and then Hamlet. I decided to go with the Shakespeare option each time, essentially turning the book into a modern English version of Hamlet (with commentary). The main thing I learned is that Shakesspeare relies on a lot of silly tropes that only worked because they were new back then.
As I said, it was a fun read, but I have the feeling that 14 year old me probably would have loved this book and found it hilarious.
