Oprah is right!! Don't read the inside flap of the front cover it will tell you something important you should wait for. UGH!! I never should have looked at it.

I have come close to reading the flap several times even though I've already started the novel. But thankfully I've refrained in each instance of weakness. :D

I didn't hear Oprah say that before I bought the book but the first thing I did was take the cover off. I don't like messing with the covers, they always get in the way. I'm glad I did now.

Help! I just downloaded this book on my Kindle, so there is no inside flap. Can I read the Prologue, or do I need to start with Part 1? I don't want the mystery spoiled for me.

Thanks.

Yes, read the prologue. It is important...a key.

I know. I made the mistake of doing that but I also was browsing this site and found another HUGE spoiler right in front of me. I wasn't even digging for anything and there it was. Very upsetting.

From reading the reviews I knew that the story was molded to a degree on Hamlet, so the blurb on the inside flap wasn't giving much away in my opinion. The broad strokes of the uncle killing and usurping the father's place, the eventual confrontation between Edgar and his uncle was inevitable if not completely known in detail.
