What if Hamlet. . . .
In Ryan North’s To Be Or Not To Be, you, the reader, make the choices that determine Hamlet’s destiny.  Will he end up dead . . . or ruler of Denmark . . . or maybe he should really go off and have piratical adventures instead?  It’s up to you!  Your Hamlet can play out Shakespeare’s classic drama . . . or make some more sensible decisions instead that might leave him less dead at the end of the book.
“I love Hamlet, but the guy takes his time to make a decision,” says author Ryan North.  “I thought it'd be fun to see what happens if he made better choices – or, if not better choices, then at least different.  We've added little Yorick skulls marking the choices Shakespeare made throughout the story, so the original Hamlet is included too!”
With over 110 possible endings, your trip through Shakespeare and Ryan North’s delightfully wacky To Be Or Not To Be could feature Hamlet, Hamlet’s father, or Ophelia (now a 21st century-style strong female character!), and is 100% guaranteed to end in a full-color illustration – and probably death.
This hilarious, fun-filled adaptation of the classic Shakespeare play is the perfect holiday gift for all the people you know. 
With over 15,000 backers and funding over half a million dollars, To Be Or Not To Be is the #1 publishing projected crowdfunded by Kickstarter.
