Honestly I don't really know what I was expecting, I guess I was expecting more? A bigger plot, more detailed characters. I felt a little lost reading this book, not much made sense. It was disappointing to be candid. So much pointless death; it didn't make sense to me why so many people died in this play. The premise was promising but hopefully if I see a film adaptation of the book, then I will enjoy it more. Probably the most underwhelming tragedy of Shakespeare that I've read.
