24. Macbeth (William Shakespeare)


Synopsis from Amazon UK:

Promised a golden future as ruler of Scotland by three sinister witches, Macbeth murders the king to ensure his ambitions come true. But he soon learns the meaning of terror killing once, he must kill again and again, and the dead return to haunt him. A story of war, witchcraft and bloodshed, Macbeth also depicts the relationship between husbands and wives, and the risks they are prepared to take to achieve their desires.

My rating: 4 stars

My review: I rate all Shakespeare plays against Hamlet. While Macbeth is good and should be read by everyone (general knowledge, etc.), it is no Hamlet.
