Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
3.0
SO, after finally hearing and seeing so much about Romeo and Juliet(TV shows, other books, etc.) I decided to give the actual book a try. Yeah...you know, it was kind of a disappointment compared to what I thought it was going to be. But maybe that's my fault for having such high expectations for a book that has been so highly...highly talked about. Don't get me wrong...I mean this was an okay decent book. But if only, if only, if only I knew what the characters were saying and what the narrator was saying more then about half the time. I mean I know the basics: 1. Romeo and Juliet dance at the ball even though I think Romeo is with someone else and the Capulets and the Montagues don't like each other.
2. Romeo does this big long speech outside of Juliet's window and it has something to do with a rose ...
3. They plan on getting married but then Romeo gets into trouble but then they get married anyway and Romeo runs away someplace.
4. SO, something happens, some friar or something gives Juliet(I think) some potion that makes them SEEM dead but they aren't but Romeo doesn't know that and I think he uses the potion on himself when he sees Juliet "dead". Then Juliet wakes up and sees Romeo dead and uses his sword to kill herself.
I could list the part where Romeo and Juliet's family make up or whatever but then I would just get mad because that was the stupidest part of the book. I mean, it's too late for them to make up now! So, after reading this book, I A. ended up just about knowing as much as I knew before I even picked the book up and B. had a headache from trying to read all those unnecessary words.
