The only reason this isn't 5 stars is some unchallenged content that can be largely attributed to societal views at time of publication. Everything else is just too good. The language can be hard to understand at times but the themes, imagery used, references to other parts of the text, characters, language (when you take time to understand it) and rlly good execution of a tragedy arc outshine that. I am so in love with this book omg.

The play was written as a poem, and it didn't suit me. I wasn't very impressed with the writing and narration style. Generally, I didn't enjoy the book.

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.
