Wow... this was not great. I remember not liking it the first time I read it almost 10 years ago but man this does not hold up. The writing is choppy at best and full of weird innuendos I had a hard time deciphering. I didn't like any of the characters. Juliet was my favorite I guess but that's because what she said made the most sense to me- like in a reading sense. It wasn't a riddle.
I'll stick with the ballet version of R&J.

A notable classic, though like much of Shakespeare's work, incredibly long.
