I really enjoyed Macbeth. I enjoy original takes or alternative version of well-known stories so I was eager to see what Nesbø did Shakespeare. My confession: I've never read the original Macbeth so have no idea how this book compares. I just found this an enjoyable, fast paced thriller. The book is set in the 1970's. The characters are fantastic, flesh out and so real they almost walk off the page. Macbeth is a fantastic leading man. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about his gradual descent into paranoia and madness. This is very well written. Macbeth's lover, Lady offers an interesting and sinister layer to it all. Macbeth is well worth a read.
