The Cliff-Notes of Romeo and Juliet really emphasized key parts of the book when we had to read it in English. It gave me a better understanding of each character's traits and gave me a better comprehension of the book in general

4.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Pleasing Yet? Get The Notes To Romeo and Juliet!, May 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (Cliffs Notes) (Paperback)

Romeo and Juliet was very good. No doubt about it. The book kept me reading. These notes are highly recommended to really get the point of the book. This is a romantic comedy about 2 star crossed "down to earth" lovers, whose families are enemies. But, they have a purpose to end their families fued. This book makes you think about life in general because it only takes 2 people from totaly different backgrounds to change the families views on each other. But, you must loose some to gain some. In general, these notes are very easy to understand and comprehend. Don't hesitate to get them. The commentary and notes from the acts are a big help, especially when you have a test over the acts. It cleary helps you to remember the sequence of events in each act and scene. It also gives a great character background on the main characters to see who plays which roles. Another issue of this book recommended is the regular Romeo and Juliet book, to really understand the tone of each character in the book. The tones help you see the comedy and romantic side of each part.
