5.0 out of 5 stars Must Read!!
If you like crime stories without the gore, this book is for you! It starts out a little slow but once it draws you in, you are caught up in it. I loved this book!

The main character, Horatio, was great! He was snarky, quick witted and lots of fun. I enjoyed this book very much

1.0 out of 5 stars Unbelieveable
This book was a summer required reading book for my grandson going into middle school (6th grade). The alcohol consumption & smutty talk completely surprised me & my grandson. Apparently the school needs to read before requiring.
4.0 out of 5 stars Noir Hamlet
In this hard-boiled teen retelling of Hamlet, Horatio Wilkes spends a summer in the small-town home of his buddy Hamilton Prince. The Prince family runs a paper plant which is currently undergoing scrutiny for pollution. On top of that controversy, Hamilton's father has just passed away, and his mother just married her dead husband's brother. When Hamilton gets a video from his dead father claiming that he'd been poisoned, Horatio promises to root out the murderer. Something is rotten in the town of Denmark, Tennessee.This little mystery was funny (though neo-noir isn't my usual type of humor, I still got a few chuckles). The plot is pretty straight-forward if you already know the story of Hamlet, so I felt very little suspense - on the other hand, it was interesting to see how Gratz played around with the story to make it more appropriate to younger audiences. He managed to stay true to the events in the play, but made it more realistic and less tragic. There are a few Shakespeare quotes thrown in which made me roll my eyes and groan, but in a "good" way. I'd say this book is appropriate for 11-15 year olds.
