Visually engages readers by placing the original dialogue on the left-hand side of the page, and a modern prose interpretations on the right. As a result, it is easy for readers to cross reference as they move through the play and finally "get" Shakespeare.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book...for leisure reading or for school!,
This review is from: Romeo and Juliet: Side by Side (Side By Sides) (Paperback)
This book is great, it sets aside the difficulty that comes with reading Shakespear's Old English, and it especially great for school kids who have to read the book in class. They can translate the old english and it makes the words easier to understand. It literally has the Old English on one side and New English on the other! Great buy...Great Price! If you have to read Romeo and Juliet for school I recommend this book...if you want to read it simply for fun I still recommend it!

This review is from: Romeo and Juliet: Side by Side (Side By Sides) (Paperback)
Used as a study guide for my son who is a high school freshman. The original text may as well be in another language. The side by side made it easy to interpret while still reading the original. Went from D's to A's.

This review is from: Romeo and Juliet: Side by Side (Side By Sides) (Paperback)
If your child needs to endure Shakespeare, this book is invaluable! No Fear Shakespeare is also great, I'm sure, but I picked this one, and my daughter loved it. Side by side, page by page, silliness and normal. You can't go wrong! Why wasn't this available when I was a kid????
