By the pricking of my thumbs,Something wicked this way comes. Award-winning author Christopher Andrews returns with his novelization of William Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Macbeth." As with " Prince of Denmark," Andrews has adapted the play to allow modern readers of the 21st Century to better understand and enjoy the work of The Bard. Whether you are a student or simply find yourself intimidated by Shakespeare's verbiage, this is the novelization for you.
Christopher Andrews lives in California with his wife, Yvonne Isaak-Andrews, and their wonderful daughter, Arianna. In addition to his duties as stay-at-home Dad, he is always working on his next novels, and continues to work as an actor and screenwriter.
8/10 For Macbeth, great story and themes. Plot can be a bit obvious at times but that’s because Shakespeare has a formula and is so influential so I kind of know what happens by cultural osmosis. For the novelization, the modernization of the dialogue is good and actions are described well but the internal monologuing is usually too obvious and doesn’t add much.
Andrews has captured all the tragedy intended by Shakespeare and transformed it into a page turning novel. Having always been one of my favorite plays, I have once again enjoyed it thoroughly.
