To Be or Not To Be: A Chooseable-Path Adventure

 To Be or Not To Be: A Chooseable-Path Adventure by Ryan North, 368 pages.

This extremely funny book turns Hamlet into a choose-your-own-adventure story with three playable characters and dozens of endings. There's an astounding amount of creativity in this book, and I was often completely blindsided by the directions it was possible to take the story in. Be Hamlet's father, decide revenge is for suckers, spend your afterlife hanging out with dinosaur ghosts. Be Ophelia, go on a single's cruise to England, invent the wingsuit and fight terrorists. Be Hamlet and become a pirate captain. Be Hamlet and Ophelia going through a training montage to become ninjas. There are also helpful little skull markers if you want to follow the path of the actual play. 

In addition to the crazy plots and cool illustrated endings, I really enjoyed how conversational this book was. The author was definitely a character, which allowed for some especially fun use of the medium. I would definitely recommend flipping through this book, for Shakespeare fans especially, but honestly I think it's funny enough that most people would enjoy it.
