Romeo and Juliet

By Shakespeare

Romeo and Juliet is the classic tale of love and loss. Romeo, the prince of the Montague clan, and Juliet, princess of the Capulet clan, fall in love, but their love is forbidden, for their families are mortal enemies.

Luckily, I read a translated copy, in the No-Fear Shakespeare series, because otherwise, it’s close to impossible for the average person to understand the untranslated dialogue, due to Shakepeare's Old English.

Romeo and Juliet is a good book for anyone who enjoys romance, provided you have a copy you can understand. I, however, did not enjoy it. I found the dialogue stiff, but to be fair, it is simply the script for the play.
