Summary: Really good book! You should read it!
Review: "From forth the fatal loins of these two foes, a pair of star-crossed lovers take their life; whose misadventur'd piteous overthrows, doth with their death bury their parents' strife." This is part of the opening prologue from William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet." From this passage you can get a clear picture of the events that take place in this play. "From forth the fatal loins of these two foes," from these selected words you are safe to say that this play is about two different families. "A pair of star-crossed lover;" you can see that there are two people in love. " Doth with their death, bury their parents' strife;" this means that their parent's have been feuding for a long time, and only in their children's death do their parents realize the seriousness of their actions. "Romeo and Juliet," is a romantic tragedy, as are most of William Shakespeare's plays. This reading is fiction, although, it seems so real, because it relates with some modern issues.
"Romeo and Juliet," is my favorite book. William Shakespeare's characters in most of his plays go against their parent's or have to choose between them. I agree with what Shakespeare shows in this play; it helps young adults relate to his books. In "Romeo and Juliet," the two young adults have to choose if they want to be together because they're in love or turn the other way because their parent's don't get along.
This book really makes me think; if I was in this situation my decisions would be very hard, I wouldn't be able to make up my mind as fast as Romeo and Juliet did. I think anyone that has a chance to read this and has an opportunity to dissect it, it's a good idea because it really makes you think; what would you do in this situation.

Summary: Popular for a reason
Review: "Romeo and Juliet" has to be one of Shakespeare's most popular plays; that doesn't necessarily means it is his best, just one of his better plays. Superbly written, "Romeo and Juliet" excels at enchanting the readers or audiences with the beautiful language and powerful emotions. Like most of the Bard's plays, it incorporates all major human emotions; it is funny and poignant, breathtaking and heart-breaking. And though we are all familiar with the story through the melange of theatrical and cinematic interpretations and adaptions, nothing can compare with actually reading it; as with the best Shakespearean plays, it is an experience rivaled by none other.

Summary: ...MaGicaL...
Review: Books by Shakespere is something you just don't read for fun, you read it slowly by savoring the moments of every word spoken by each character. By reading Romeo and Juliet, you would understand the tragidy because of love...and how they both would risk their lives for each other. Shakespere is the man who can really define true love.

Summary: Romeo & Juliet - Dover Thrift Edition
Review: For the cost of ..., you can own a copy of the world's greatestlove story: Romeo & Juliet. Made possible to own ... by the DoverThrift Edition line of books, this edition of Romeo & Juliet iscomplete and unabridged. Use this copy for your performance of theplay, for an English class when you have to buy (or want to buy) abook to have of your own to highlight and annotate as you wish, orsimply to read at your own leisure. The only downside of this editionis that there are no notes of any kind, so you have to throroughlyknow the play itself. Outside of that one setback, the book isdefinitely worth purchasing if you need it or want it, but don't wantto spend lots of money on a copy.

Summary: Bad Edition
Review: I am giving the Dover Thrift Edition 1 star, not the play, the play is a world classic and a masterpiece. The edition, however, is pitiful. I would like to know how many people were lured into buying this because it is so cheap?This would not do for any kind of performance because it provides very little, if any, notes as to what is going on in the background, what the actors should be doing, how they are feeling, details at all! It is simply a horrible edition for anything but putting on your bookshelf to rot. Unless you never plan on reading this book, don't buy it. PLEASE!
