Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy story of Romeo and Juliet. There were in differnt houses and they were enemies. Romeo went to the party of Juliet's family and he was really not allowed. There was how he met Juliet face to face for the time. They know each other and they are going out with each other. Juliet's nurse is helping in the message between Romeo and Juliet but it was because Juliet asked her to. There was alot of things that are happening. The party where Romeo joined, the challenge that they sent Romeo and many others.
The story is writen in old english so there might be words that are simular that they dont understand they also have pictures and translation for the readers so they can know what they are reading. I really like the book and how it picks up in the middle. There were acutally alot of thing that are happening. The books is for all age groups and for anyone that had enjoy Shakespeare's work would enjoy this.

The classic book Romeo and Juliet is known for its tough language, confusing storyline, many characters, and tragic ending. One thing most people who have not read the book do not realize is that this novel involves much bawdy humor and sexual inneuendos. Once you begin reading you start to wonder how this novel is a classic and then realize that it is what it is because it was a play. Not everything in the book is saddening. It gives you quite a few laughs and enjoyable moments up until the high point of the book. Then it begins to darken and lose some of its humorous moments. Overall Romeo and Juliet is a better classic than most. I reccommend everyone read it.

this is a really great book i would recomend to kids 12+. i wuould also recommend that you get a more modern version because the version i had was difficult to understand since it was written in old english but i enjoyed the book none-the-less.

Its not that i dont like romeo and juliet, because i do, but i think the lovers are naive. after seeing eachother and one kiss they want to get married. then the parents, they have control issues and could stand to live a little. Romeo was in love with Rossaline and all of the sudden she's nothing. Typical. And Juliet is eaisly wooed. She likes Romeo because she thinks he's good looking and adventurous. That's something she craves. Adventure. The story is ok for ficton, but it has led to people actually living it.

This play was great! It was so sweet, and you should definitely read it if your in to the whole love thing.

Okay so, Romeo meets Juliet at her party and they fall madly in love. With a day they get married, and the Juliet's supposed to get married to Paris. As everyone know in the end, Romeo takes poison because he believes Juliet is dead, but then Juliet awakes from her deep sleep and finds Romeo dead.

Even though i knew Romeo and Juliet would die without seeing each other, I still was hoping that Juliet would wake up before Romeo died.
