This book is a tragedy of Shakespeare.
In Verona, capulets and Montagues are opposed to each other, but Romeo who is Montague's son fell in love with Juliet who is Capulet's daughter. They married secretly, however one day Romeo was banished from Verona for murder. Juliet took medicine whih made her apparent death to ran off with him, but he didn't notice her "apparent" death and suicide himself, and she saw it then she also suicide herself. I think they're so pity! But I was surprised all events in this story happened in a week!!! ( )

I much preferred the Luhrman movie, I have to say, than having to read it at school. The movie was great though and barely a word had to be changed. ( )

This is the most famous sad love story and one of Shakespeare's four tragedies.
There are many great expression all over this book.
Romeo and Juliet are devoted to each other.
But thier surrounding people don't permit that they marry.
They try to solve this problem……

It is little difficult to read because the sentence is like script. ( )
