lost in a haze

i was just gonna start a new book, "the lunatic the lover and the poet", so i read some reviews. a lot of people said i need to know hamlet in order to get it/enjoy the book. my understanding of hamlet is very little. i know the guy was haunted by his father and that the lion king has some resemblance to it. is it nececary to read hamlet first? or just know the general plot?
