Romeo and Juliet Audiobook

" Classic. But if they had only communicated better it would have saved them all a lot of grief. "

" Is this book in Yiddish?! I couldn't understand a word! "

" Well, I just finished reading this in freshman English class and it's obviously a masterpiece. I just don't believe in the concept of two people falling in love, getting married and dying all within a few days. Other than that, this is definitely one of my favorite love stories. "

" A well known play, and even though you knew the ending of the story even before you started to read the beginning you can't help but be fascinated by the world and how love, as unrequited as it is, can change a characters heart. "

" I thought it would be Better. Didn't really lead up to my expectations "

" I didn't hate it entirely but I found that it was somewhat disappointing. In another point of view, it can be argued that it is something that the people of that time period would have enjoyed "

" First read in 1983 as part of my O'Level. Loved it then, although incredibly hard going until my fantastic literacy teacher broke the whole book down, bit by bit. The most amazing love story of all time....but I think we all know that. Read too many tomes to remember since. "

" Wow! Big expectations and....can't believe that's it...cruelly disappointed "

" Just love it ! Had to read it as a homework when i was 16 ish .... And i fell in love ! Its a beautiful story ! I Thinke i have to read it again just for fun :D "

" One of my favorite Shakespeare's books! :) I read it in spanish when I was still in secondary school. Loved the story though it was very very sad. "

" I know this is supposed to be an important work but reading plays is a pain in the ass "

" I don't know...I like Hamlet more...:) "

" It was okay, but I really thought Romeo and Juliet were both very impulsive and I don't think it's love they have but more of infatuation. No offense, but I guess since Shakespeare is a man from the olden times, I really can't relate that much with this book than with the others I read. Sorry. :( "

" Romeo & Juliet is a clever play, with a good story. But it is just too predictable and the language is confusing. "

" A tragical love story, unforgettable! "

" perhaps the greatest love story of all time "

" i thing is most populer love story so i want reed this story "

" What's not to like about a tragic love story "

" Well, I just finished reading this in freshman English class and it's obviously a masterpiece. I just don't believe in the concept of two people falling in love, getting married and dying all within a few days. Other than that, this is definitely one of my favorite love stories. "

" This is one of my all time favorite romantic pieces; even with the sadness at the end the play as a whole still portrays the magic of true love. "

" It's a good book but I didn't enjoy reading it. My favorite part was when Tybalt and Romeo fought. "

" I like Juliet more and more. "

" This was an amazing emotional story. "

" One of the most well known and my least favorite Shakespeare play. Sorry, but there are so many better works than this "

" reading this in the 9th grade was horrible "

" It's a good book but I didn't enjoy reading it. My favorite part was when Tybalt and Romeo fought. "

" In my humble opinion none of us should leave any comment on such a legendary love story written by one of the greatest playwrights and authors of all time.Hence I kindly refuse to write a view about it. "

" One of my favourite Shakespeare dramas for pure lyrical speech, but Romeo and Juliet themselves are kind of annoying. Still gets 4 stars because it's not Bill's fault their relationship has been made into a pop culture ideal. "

" Shakespeare is not really of my taste but Romeo and Juliet did keep me entertained in school when reading it in the weird world of the Capulets and Montagues. "

" Eh. Well. I read it, didn't I? The language was beautiful... but the story... blah. It just wasn't my taste. *Shrug* "

" Romeo and Juliet...Most tragic love story ever...I can hear Juliet's famous line in my head, "O Romeo, o Romeo...And I will no longer be a Capulet." "

" Not very good at reading Shakespeare. Not really interesting to me but it was okay. "

" I'm not huge on Shakespeare but Romeo and Juliet is a classic. You have to appreciate Shakespeare's talent. "

" I'm not a Shakespeare fan, never have been. A fact I've kept from my retired English teacher grandmother my entire life. "

" It's not as romatic as it seems... this young love is portrayed beautifully through shakespeare's words though. "

" Not so keen on Romeo and Juliet anymore, it'll never replace, A midsummer night's dream. But I stiall appreciate, the language and those words I have discovered. "

" Can't complain it's an English classic! However my English teacher changed my view of this play. It is not a love story at all but one of conflict and family feuds, and no offence Romeo, but you need to man up! 'Tis all... "

" A very tragic love story, but it was beautifully written! I love Shakespeare! :) "

" I don't understand why people find this romantic. Although it is an excellent play, if you read it, you will see that it is far from being a huge "romance". "

" The perfect tragedy of a love story. "

" My favourite of Shakespears plays, a pair of star crossed lovers risk it all for each other. "

" not big on star-crossed lovers who die martyrs deaths...but it's Shakespeare. He's got amazing lines in this one. "

" romping with swords that may injure and kill, my grave is to be like my wedding bed. "

" It is an interesting lover story but I do not like the ending. It makes me mad at the chose they made, because they were "proving fate wrong" or something. The plot was interesting and that is what I like about it. If you like violence then you should read it. It is kind of corny though. "

" Pretty good but not amazing! "

" loved it! one of my favorite classics. "

" I read this book when I was a freshman (2011-2012) at Northwood High School (Irvine, CA). "

" Loved this play the first time I ever read this in high school. I don't think I will ever forget this play! Funny how all his plays end in tragedy. "

" I've read this a number of times now, and love it! "

" Read several times, have seen it on stage, and when my daughter had to read it for English class, I fell in love with it all over again. Retains its power to move. Shakespeare, of course. "

" I've read this a number of times now, and love it! "

" Not a love story...a tale of what happens when young adults are left to their own devices without occasional adult supervision (the nurse and priest don't count as sane persons). "

" Shakespeare's prose is beautiful in it's own right, but the storyline was dull and uninspired (blasphemous as that is to say.) I found myself exasperated by the characters but constantly in awe with the language Shakespeare weaves. "

" This play is boring for most of it, but some parts were interesting, like Juliet's plan. I wouldn't recommend this for everyday reading. "

" The amount of thought that had to go into each word blows my mind! We don't talk with this amount of thought anymore, and I think that is the reason behind the low rating. People don't want to think today as much as they want to experience. "

" beautiful..or course, it's Shakespeare!, but the ending is a bummer. "

" Ah, the perils of horny teenagers with a lack of adult supervision. Good stuff. "

" Liked it more than I expected. There was much more interesting developments than modern love stories. But not a fan of the whole "mutual self destruction because love is all that matter" crap. "

" The Shakespeare play that I read Freshman year. I enjoyed this play. I like West Side Story a lot too. "

" This was an amazing emotional story. "

" This is a great book to introduce plays to high school students.this is a classic that I'm sure most students have heard of or even seen the movie. "

" Not my favorite Shakespeare. They're just kinda dumb "

" Not very good at reading Shakespeare. Not really interesting to me but it was okay. "

" really really good. movie adaptations are good too. I will never grow tired of this story "

" not a big fan of romeo and juliet to be honest.... "

" This book was pretty lame at the beginning but then it started to get interesting in the middle and the end. "

" romantic, tragic, but yet all too good and wonderful. <3 loved it~! "

" Honestly, I finally see why it was a tradgedy. They were a couple in lust, not love, and married too quickly and ended up dying for it. I thought it was extremely well written though, even if it wasn't the ending I wanted. I am so excited to read more of Shakespeares plays "

" Read much earlier. Must read. "

" The book was not that interesting. Romeo and Juliet was okay. "

" My only disappointments are that there wasn't enough Mercutio and Romeo was a wimp! "

" Very handy to have around to refer to, if i was to buy individual copies of all his works it would be costly and take up far too much space. Alhough of course i still like to buy special copies of my favourites. "

" Believe it or not, I have read them all O.o "

" Didn't read the whole thing of course....but this is the edition I used in college. Very nice annotated edition, however it's a bit bulky. ;-) I kept it, because really, how much is Shakespeare going to change when my kid takes it in college? "

" The college class I took on Shakespeare's work really cracked it open for me. Knowledge definitely enhances appreciation when it comes to the Bard. This single-volume text includes everything he's written, with annotations. Over 2,000 tissue-thin pages. I just want to pet it. "

" What do I think well? It one of the greatest books I've read and still reading. I know that I will continue to read it. "

" So far I've only read Hamlet....so far...just wow. Full Review Coming Later "

" It is not my intent to review the Riverside. There are several well-wrought &quot;complete works.&quot; But nobody even comes close to William Shakespeare of Stratford. "

" Whether or not you believe that one man named William Shakespeare wrote these plays, it cannot be denied that they are greatly enjoyable on their own and have influenced countless other works of art throughout the ages. "

" Worth the investment- all of his major and minor tragedies, comedies, histories and romances- plus sonnets. Our professor had made us get a version similar to this one (not leather bound). We read a good portion of it but you can only just scratch the surface with Shakespeare. "

" I particularly like this annotated edition. Particular attention is paid to both language and historical context. "
