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!

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!

Summary: Romeo & Juliet
Review: Romeo & Juliet takes place in Verona in Feudal times. In that times women weren't given any rights. They couldn't hold property or discuss with their husband. This is shown during the whole book. Another thing different from nowadays was the language. Shakespeare uses a language, which I can't understand. So, in some parts were I don't know what a word means, the book becomes boring. Shakespeare, in a way, wrote female characters more intelligent and reflective than male, which in those times, women were objects. The story has different little stories in it. For example; the quarrel between the Capulet's gang and the Montague's; the impossible love between Romeo and Juliet; the trouble that Romeo has in Verona after killing Tybalt; Juliet has to marry Paris but she doesn't want and discusses bravely against her father; these make the story more interesting and it attracts the reader until the end.

Summary: Romeo and Juliet
Review: Romeo and Juliet is a great book. It's an interesting book to read. It is about tragic love during Shakespeare's time. Their love was impossible because their families, Montagues and Capulets, hated each other. The book shows how a couple fights against everything for their love. It has a tragic end in which both, Romeo and Juliet die, because nobody accepted their love.
You must have a very good English, to understand it. Because it is written in old English, what, in some parts may confuse the reader.
Though for some moments it may be boring, because it gives too many details, we enjoyed the story, and we recommend it.
It's definitely one of the best books written by Shakespeare.

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.

Summary: Indepth look at Romeo and Juliet... not for performance.
Review: The beauty of Romeo and Juliet is universal of any edition you choose to buy--- Shakespeare's work is not what is being reviewed here. This edition is different from the other versions available of the same text, because this edition looks at Shakespeare's source, discrepancies in the text, meanings and significance of the imagery, etc. The multitude of footnotes (often taking up more than half the page) makes it ideal for scholars of Shakespeare who need more than just superficial notes. This edition is grossly inadequate for stage use due to the multitude of notes and small text. Buy this edition of the book for a sturdy, reliable and in-depth study of Romeo and Juliet. Look elsewhere for a simple copy of the text.
NOTE: THIS IS A REVIEW FOR THE OXFORD SHAKESPEARE EDITION OF THE PLAY NOT THE RADIO BROADCAST!!!

Summary: A world of hate...
Review: The book's content is incredible. It has all elements an excellent drama piece should have. Suspense, love, romance, action, everything is included in this book. The only feedbacks are the ancient english it is written in. Anyway, I would say like it wouldn't 'stick' with modern english.
The plot is somewhat boring at first. The action begins when Romeo falls in love with Juliet, and Tybalt discovers it. In the climax, there is intense, non-stop action, when Romeo's Friar gives a sleeping potion to Juliet so she can escape from marrying, but Romeo has not heard about it. This great tragedy ends with the suicide of these two. It is a great book and I really recommend it for young and adults.

Summary: The famous star -crossed lovers
Review: The play is about two star-crossed lovers, who cannot be together because their families, Capulets and Montagues, hate each other. They will do anything to be with each other, even if it means killing themselves. There comes a moment in the play where the only way out is committing suicide. And that was what Romeo and Juliet did. When Juliet found out the real identity of Romeo, she couldn't believe it: "My only love sprung from my only hate". The families really hate each other: "I hate hell, Montagues and thee" so Romeo and Juliet decide to keep their love in secret, the only ones who know are Friar Laurence and the Nurse. As everyone knows, the end, is extremely tragic. Juliet has no way out so she decides to pretend her death, but if it doesn't work, she is willing to kill herself: "If all else fail, myself have the power to die". As Romeo can't stand her "death", he also commits suicide. Juliet wakes up, sees him dead, and kills herself also. So both can finally be together.
That's why we think parents shouldn't interfere in their children's love life. Because if they do, their children might end as Romeo and Juliet. It's better to have them married with someone that you dislike rather than to have them dead. Love is always stronger so people do anything to be with the one they love.

Summary: ð::*The tragedy of Romeo & Juliet*::ð
Review: This book is one of the most interesting books I've ever read. Why do i say this? Because it has everything like: the romance, the passion, the hate and the death, which is a good way to inspirit the reader. Shakespeare knows how to fit several feelings in the same play.
Romeo & Juliet fall in love at first sight,but they could not stay together for a long time because their families were enemies from centuries ago, who were the Capulets and the Montagues. After few days, the were married secretly by a monk called Friar Lawrence. But WAIT! there was a problem...Juliet was gonig to marry a guy called Paris. As Juliet was also married with Romeo, she could not marry Paris. Because of this, Friar Lawrence offers Juliet to take a poison that will make her sleep very deeply, and by this was she was going to seem death, unfortunately, Romeo did not recieved this message. As a result, he thought tha Juliet was dead, and he commited suicide. When Juliet woke up, she realized that her lover was dead and she also commited suicide. Finally, both families realized that they should stay in peace.
From our point of view, we think that this book was marvellous, but it should not ended up in this way.
