This classic story was still engaging even though I knew the ending before I read it.

very anticlimactic, I didn’t understand this very well and basically read the scene summaries the whole time.

it was like okay. ion need to read again but it was cute n def not how I expected it 

Not my favorite Shakespeare. I love the language (as most of his works have) but the story and plot was just so idiotic I could not focus. Young lovers have never been so annoying.

A classic Shakespearean tragedy that seems totally pointless by the end. It is a hard read with very old dialogue. One that I'm glad I pushed my way through but will never touch again.

I love this play. We studied it in Junior high, and then in high school I was part of a production of it.

I love the way that the lead characters, in their youthful innocence, are so passionate and so foolish. I don't know why that combination is so attractive, especially when their end is so gruesome, but it is. I think I will always love this play, and the many incarnations of it I have been exposed to.

This story is both wonderful and tragic. Famous for its beautiful prose and historical truths, I’m sure Shakespeare would be happy to know the star-crossed lovers’ story keeps being told. I knew what was going to happen on every page, of course, but reading it was still a lovely experience.
