“I started reading this over the weekend because my little brother had a project on it. Reading it over the weekend reminded me of how much I disliked the book when I first read it in 7th grade. I thought it was too long and boring. Although this story is supposed to portray a "realistic romance" I thought it was anything but that. To me, nothing Romeo or Juliet do in this book seem realistic. No guy I know, or I have heard of, will scale a wall to see his girlfriend. But, I must admit that William Shakespeare is an amazing author. I do not recommend this book. If you're looking for a "realistic romance" Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand is your best bet. ”

“a classic! i find the story so close to reality because it shows and defines the real meaning of love- it can make you happy, sad and angry. the way it is written started the ethics of all the tragic love stories that exists at present.”

“This is a pretty good play. Not exactly worthy of as much praise as it gets, but I still enjoyed it. Most people hate reading about the love, because it's a love that would not actually happen; love at first sight is not real, at least in my opinion. But most people forget that this is fiction. Shakespeare wrote about a love that would not happen in real life. Is that wrong? How is that any worse than writing about wizards and witches attending a magical school in England? Although many characters have flaws, like Romeo's cowardly nature and Juliet's foolish lust, some characters, like Count Paris and Friar Laurence, have sense in them. I feel bad for Paris in the end; he loved Juliet, but she didn't love him back.

All in all, it was a pretty good play. It took a while to decipher everything, even with the sidenotes, but I was able to get through it without utterly loathing it, unlike many of my peers.”
“If you like romance read this, but the thing about you people who like romance, be prepared for depression at the end!”
