:- 2.0 out of 5 stars from D. Dunstock -- Fired Up : To be clear, I re-read this book for the language. NOT the story. NOT THE STORY. Lawd. ( Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2018 )
- 1.0 out of 5 stars from Melissa B. Holt -- NOT A COMPLETE AUDIBLE BOOK : I bought this audiobook for my son to listen to at bedtime because he needs it for his 9th grade English class. Unfortunately I did not look at the length because it was farther down just above the comments but looked that is was unabridged with nothing being mentioned with the title and reader area that it was only 15 minutes long. I thougth it was the full edition of the book but is was not. It only has 15 minutes of portions of the book. DO NOT BUY if you are expecting a full edition.

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from sugarchan -- She loved it. : Got this for my grand daughter to read for her summer reading list. You have to hear the joy in her voice as she was telling me about the book. ( Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Jeff -- One of My Favorite Shakespeare Plays : One of my absolute favorite Shakespeare plays, it’s as good as you expect it to be. A lot of Shakespeare’s earlier works seem a bit shallow at times, but there’s a lot to unpack here. Juliet is one of Shakespeare’s finest characters, and the Nurse is also great. I actually think a lot of the adaptations of the play don’t capture the same energy and tonal shift Shakespeare accomplishes, so I highly recommend reading the text at some point.

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Joseph the evilcyclist -- Clearest version of Shakespeare yet : Romeo and Juliet (Shakespeare Made Clear) is Shakespeare with a plain contemporary English explanation. This companion book for the play that starts with explanations. There is an explanation of the language, the slang, the story, its history, and its modern adaptations. Following that is a short synopsis of the play. At this point the reader has a firm understanding of the play. The players and the story line are known.

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Fred Phillips -- The title says it all - Romeo and Juliet - Shakespeare Made Clear : I purchased this book so my son could better understand this timeless classic, but I think I benefited from it the most. With a line-by-line translation in simple English, what is lost in the poetry of the language is gained in understanding the characters, the time, and the emotions. I find that watching Shakespeare performed on a stage in much easier to comprehend than reading it, but Romeo and Juliet Made Clear, by Garamond Press brings the story to life in easy to read language. Even though I read the story years ago and have seen it on stage a few times, I had an even clearer understanding of the story after finishing this book. Reading this book brings to life the speech of the period and the manner in which the Bard wrote his classic tale of love. ( Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2013 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from BeatGenie -- Modern translation! : At some point or another, you will probably have to read Romeo and Juliet for a high school or college class. And if you're like me--as in born in this century--you will have a hard time understanding it. The way that Shakespeare wrote his plays is completely different to how we speak today; even most of the words he used were foreign to me in school. This book is the ultimate guide to understanding absolutely everything about Romeo and Juliet in modern language. Not only does the author summarize the entire story into one short, simple synopsis--but they also translate each scene of each act, line for line in words that this generation of readers can understand. The author also goes through the trouble of providing the history of many unfamiliar phrases, and even of the entire story itself. This is definitely a must-read for either anyone working on Romeo and Juliet in a class or even just someone who would like to understand this brilliant play in ways they never could before. ( Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2013 )
- 2.0 out of 5 stars from Creative Critic -- Cheap paper. Disappointing. : I know it's incredibly cheap but the paper is so thin it's almost dangerous to turn the pages for fear of tearing it. The pages are also a light brown or yellow colour, not white. My daughter needed this for school - she needed to be able to annotate the pages. I wouldn't try to write on this - a pencil or biro would just go through the page. Any liquid ink would soak in like a blotter. I know you get what you pay for but even this is poor. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 10, 2019 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from MissA -- Exactly what I ordered for my child (school). : This was exactly what I ordered. I have to say the plot was a little far fetched and a bit too ‘West Side Story’ for my liking. Whoever this Will Shakespeare guy is, I don’t expect he’ll do very well. This story definitely needed more aliens and at least one robot to make it a page turner. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 1, 2020 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Kindle Customer -- An excellent quality of edition and a true classic play! The greatest love story ever written! : I've recently taken an interest in William Shakespeare's plays and was particularly interested to read "Romeo and Juliet". I thoroughly enjoyed this book and felt I got good value for my money as this particular Kindle edition was in top condition. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 16, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from H Terry -- Excellent for Secondary School : This book is, in my opinion, the best version for those in Year 9-10. It has definitions of words/phrases that you are unsure on the left side of the text. Very helful when reading in class to further develop your understanding of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from marika herdman -- Outstanding book : This is another book that I brought for my daughter to read as, she need for school. We love William Sheakspear I probably didn't spell it right, but that's okey he a very good playwriting, it very touching about Romoe and Juliet of young people loving each other ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 18, 2019 )
