Go and see it done live by an experienced company - all Shakespeare makes a lot more sense when seen live. I was off sick when my school went to see Julius Caesar at a local theatre and every agreed it was terrible but I went to see it at the RSC and was blown away. I got to see them put on the Scottish play and it was a revelation.

Slogging through books explaining it all in detail can really kill your enjoyment of a play.
