Summary: Frieza must be turning in his grave when he sees this.
Review: I know I may sound like a psychopath by the title of my review, but I just have to say that I don't like anything that is Shakespeare. I don't like this, because I'm not the type for things like Romeo And Juliet. Here are some of the things I didn't like about this.
1. The old English dialog.
2. The way the characters talk.
3. There is no tragedy of young love,or...wait a minute, there is a tragedy of young love in real life, but I don't like the way Shakespeare does it.

There is one thing I like about this book, and that is the battle scenes. That is one reason why I listen to it, but don't listen to it for the other stuff. I like stuff that has real english, real dialog, and real fights, but not this.

Stay away from this!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Romeo and Juliet
Review: I think that this is a great book because it tells you how much two people can really love each other and they gave up their lifes for their love.
I have seen the movie version about Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and still love the book every time I revisit the story. Every word fascinates the reader into truly feeling the passion and tragedy of these two lovers. Even a character such as Tybalt Capulet won me over as far as description goes. Shakespearean writing is very much complex and confusing but it has a touch romance and anger which adds to the emotion of the story.
Is an excellent story for teenagers, read this classic book of love, hate and tragedy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Romeo and Juliet a LOVE STORY
Review: Romeo and Juliet is an amazing book, about two starcross lovers have never read a book like this one. What attracted me about the story was that they both killed themselves because of the strong love they had.
Kids from the age of 10 to 13 will understand it without any difficulty. The adult's will like this book but not as kids will do. This book has a lot of emotions from the beginning to the end. I think that Shakespeare was inspired when he wrote this book. He would have been inspired with one of his loves or in England's daily life. I think he is the most important English author of time.
I think it's a great book and I recommend it to anyone that likes tragedy books and like's Shakespeare books.
