Ophelia Lisa Klein Books Reviews

If you are a Shakespeare fan or if you teach the Bard, you will enjoy this interesting perspective of Hamlet. It is very true to the play, but some parts are a little too sexual for anyone young than about 7th grade. The first half of the book is slow, but I like how the author sets up the love story of Hamlet and Ophelia.
Others have reviewed the book, the story.

I will speak to the edition, which is very messed up. It's all about words spelled incorrectly, run together, etc. I think it is because the book was scanned into some kind of program which converts it to an electronic format. And when it does, letters are run together. Like if you look at the word 'carried' from a distance, you could mistake the 'c' for an 'e', and the 'ri'for an 'n'. So 'carried' becomes 'earned'. And they used this word a lot, so every time you need to remind yourself that earned means carried. BS. And this is just one example. This is going on every other page, and after a while it becomes very tiresome. Someone needs to upgrade the program so it actually works. And whoever publishes the edition needs to proof read it. No excuse for this. And no way to get your money back from , once you download it.

If you are the author of this book, you are getting shafted ! And think how uncool it is to have a bad review - contact your agent, your publisher, - and demand better.

If you are a potential reader, I do not recommend the edition. It is very frustrating to continually put up with this.
Hamlet is my favorite work of Shakespeare & I always found Ophelia fascinating & wanted to know more about her. That's why this story caught my eye. In short, this did not fulfill my longing. I literally arrived at the end & realized that for all that Ophelia told me, I felt absolutely nothing & no connection to her. I had not expected that & I find that I'm disappointed to be left so blank. That I felt more for Ophelia in the little we get of her, by comparison, in the original than I do here where she speaks from start to finish is jarring. I found that the writing was just fine but there was no passion to the story.

Some of the other portrayals seemed a bit off from the original but I was able to allow those & not let them hold me back in enjoyment. Possibly my expectations were too high. I came in wanting to know who Ophelia was & I finished in the same place so I've neither lost nor gained.

And one final word, the edition has more than a few typos (increases in frequency as you approach the end) & this does really take one out of the story.
I read this just before I began to teach Hamlet in an AP Lit class, and I was amazed at the author's depth of knowledge of Shakespeare. Although some things, such as Ophelia and Hamlet marrying, are not in the play, they fit. The marriage and Ophelia's death are reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet. There are so many questions unanswered about Hamlet, and Shakespeare didn't include stage directions, so many interpretations are possible. The author simply does what a director does when he stages the Shakespeare's play play-she fills in the gaps.
I found this to be a very interesting and intriguing book. It is split into three roughly equal parts. Part one being Ophelia's life pre-Hamlet, part one two being during the events of Hamlet, and part three being post-Hamlet. The aspects of court life and convent life for women are wonderfully depicted, and, as far I know, quite accurate.

Pros
Very interesting
Gives a nice back story and personality to Ophelia which is not given in Hamlet
Historically accurate in regards to court and convent life for women

Cons
There some typos in the book -- these may just a problem with my since they are constant throughout the book
I found part two to be somewhat dull as it is mainly a retelling of Hamlet
Ophelia was an interesting twist on the Hamlet story (one of my favorites by Shakespeare) and was told from Ophelia's perspective. It was an interesting angle to see the story from, and carried on past where the play ends. I enjoyed this twist on a historical classic. I now want to find a lot more stories written like this where they tell old stories over from a new perspective, I really enjoyed the plot twist!
I loved the story. The fact that Ophelia is more than a dishrag or doormat for the other characters to use and abuse made me so happy. Her character has always been somewhat of an afterthought, though an actress's dream role to be sure. However, there were so many typos that at times I had to re-read a paragraph or sentence to get the meaning based on the context. I really did love the story though and that kept me going. From start to finish this book was well written and the story and plot twists were all entertaining and involved the reader to the extent that I almost didn't mind the typos. My mother always jokes that I'm a frustrated proof reader so you can imagine how this drove me crazy.
I couldn't put it down, so well done and entertaining. Fantastic characters and the story flowed like water. I loved the book and I will have to go to the movie when it is released in 2018
