romeo and juliet is abouyt two teenagers who fall madly inlove wiht each other just after one meeting. they are sooo in line that they are willing to die for each other. romeo kills juliets cousin, at this period in time, the penalty for murder is death. so romeo is forced to run away. while away, juliet has been arranged to marry someone else. word is sent for romeo but he doesnt get it in time before.....
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.

Classic doesn't always mean boring.

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.

Of course it's a good story line. I mean, everyone know's the basic's. And most people have seen the movies. The book was good I suppose, if you could get past all the "art" and "thou" and "whist" and whatever else was in it. I had to have a good portion of the book explained to me.
Ok, so basically, boy meets girl. Family's hate each other. Boy gets banished. Girl pretends to kill herself. Boy really kills himself. Girl kills herself. The end.
The movie with Leo and Claire was way more entertaining tho.

It's not what it's cracked up to be.I have to say that this story was simply melodramatic.I mean two teenagers fall so passionately in love that they'd die for eachother? Give me a break!When teenagers talk about suicide due to dating the first words that come to mind shouldn't be, "How romantic." It should be ,"Wow,could anybody get this kid a shrink?"
