Reader reviewed by abscae

As said, Shakespeare's a genius. The way he can craft words to represent sonnet, and the rhythm of the poetry is phenomenal. And he told one of the most overused, cliched, perfect story lines ever. When it boils down to it though: it's the 'art' 'thou' and whatever else Shakespearean language that makes it perfect.

All I can say is that there is alot more to the book than one would assume when thinking about it. Yes we've all read the plot, yes we know the story, but you know what? You already know the story even if you've never heard of anything about Romeo and Juliet if you read the first page.

YES! the storyline's right there. So what's the point of the entire novel you ask? The poetry, the prose, and the beauty. And that's why you should read it, not because of the story line.
