Today I'll be reviewing a well-known book... "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare. It's a tale of love, fate, and misfortune. The story opens with Romeo, a member of the Montague family, being depressed and unhappy. The reason for this is a girl he loves, but she does not love him back. Then his friend Mercutio suggests they go to the Capulets' party. There is only one problem: the Montagues and the Capulets are enemies. Romeo reluctantly agrees to go to the party, and there, he meets Juliet, Lord Capulet's daughter. The two fall in love, and the rest of the book is devoted to how the two lovers attempt to stay together. The tragic end, however, results in both their deaths, and the families mourning their losses. I thought this book was good. One of the more annoying things, however, was the fact that I constantly had to look at the guide to figure out what certain words meant. The plot of the story and the characters were well-developed, and I found the book a good read altogether. It may be tough to read at first, but you will eventually get the hang of reading his language.
Keep reading!
