Summary: Dark Fantasy with MORALS
Review: I loved this book, because it teaches people why not to have enemies due to consequences. Judging people like saying someone is a dork, jock, etc. could be murderous like in the book they killed themselves. It is realistic but fiction.

Summary: My Favorite Play
Review: I read this book in 9th grade and still read it now that I'm in the 12th. Shakespeare's play about two "star-crossed lovers" is funny, and suspensful, and sad, and readers of today can even relate to the situations in it. This book is a great example of how strong love can be, how assumptions can lead to tragedy, and the risks one will take for love.

Summary: Great for mature Sixth Graders!
Review: I use Romeo and Juliet as a unit in my literature class, but only when I have a mature class of Sixth Graders. Therefore, I do not use it every year. After a lesson on pronouncing some of the English and what it means, I pick the best readers to do the reading, and switch off daily. We also study the conflicts and do quite an indepth study of the play. They love it!! I end with the Zefferelli version of Romeo and Juliet on Video. The Dover Press edition makes it affordable to buy every student a copy for them to make notes in and keep when we are done!!!

Summary: Haven't read it but LOVE the story!!
Review: I'm going to read this play for school this coming year and I cannot wait. One of my favorite works of writing is the very beginning of this play ("Two households both alike in dignity......a pair of star cross'd lovers take their life.") . There is nothing I love more than that. This is excellent work.

Summary: Read it.
Review: If you have not read 'Romeo and Juliet', go read it now. After you've finished reading it, read it again. It is quite possibly the best love story ever told.

Summary: Shakespeare at his best
Review: It really sounds foolish to be reviewing the Bard, but if this might help to convince wary readers it is worth it. First of all, this play combines humor, wit, tradgedy, sword- fights, drama, etc. and Shakespeare ties it together to create a truly magnificent work of art that has been often imitated. Nothing beats Shakespeare's original words, though. I encourage people not to be intimidated by the unabridged versions of any Shakespeare play, but rather to read the play with a group. Not only will you have more fun doing so, but you will also comprehend more of what you read. It is also fun to "assume" the characters. Make it fun, and it will be!

Summary: Well worth the money.
Review: Romeo and Juliet does not read as well as some other plays such as Hamlet. It must be seen to be fully enjoyed. Nevertheless, I would reccomend this edition of the play. It is dirt cheap, for the amount of content you recieve, it is well worth the money. I reccomended it, however I strongly suggest you watch the play first before reading it. I believe that only after you watch the play will you fully appreciate it.
