This book was inspired by everyday romances. We can't see it around us but it is there. Romeo and Juliet is about two star-crossed lovers who overcome boundaries that are supposed to keep them apart: Their parents, the law, yet they overcome them like they're not even there. Though the ending is sad, it keeps you reading and the shakespearean language is not very hard to figure out when the words by themselves, tell the story of this heartfilled romance. Everyone should read it.

While I am a HUGE Shakespeare fan, this is not his best. Allbeit - its great literature. I love the twists and the language, but it's often quite silly and there are too many questions about motivations, etc. For true tragedy, you should spend the extra effort on Othello, Hamlet, or Lear. It's worth the endeavor!

An amazing story that has all the components of a moder day bestseller. The Shakespearean language is not to difficult to decipher in this play and will be enjoyed by academic and non-academic audiences!

Shakespeare is not for everyone. We all have different tastes and different opinions. For those of you who have not read this Shakespearian play, you are missing out on something amazing. This story of true love and tragic death can only be described as intense. For hundreds of years this has been Shakespeare's most amazing work. There is no way to explain what causes this story to be so good. Find out for yourself. Read it.

The play truely inspired me to write sonnets.You know how it's so weird that Mr. Shakespeare related to us and our love life as if he to were living it.He explained life like no one could ever.The play was almost as if I were acctualy there when it happened. When my drama class did the play I was julte and as in the play it were in real life. you see my mom didn't allow me to have a boyfriend and Romeo was the guy who wanted me to be his love.Whatever the case my be he knew what we would feel and how we would relate to his play.
