Reviews
I like Shakespeare's stories because there is lots of violence and it is more interesting than childrens books.

I loved this story and my favourite character is Juliet because she pretended to die just so she could go to a different city and live with her true love Romeo. I would definitely recommend this book and I also loved the illustrations by Tony Ross

It was sad at the end but I really, really enjoyed it! It was very interesting because it's about 2 people who fall in love but their families are fighting.

It was amazing. I have never read a book with a bad and a good ending. the plot was just fantastic. what I liked the most was both the male and female liked each other. I would defiantly recommend this book.

I love books about romance and this is one of them! I also adore that it’s a Shakespear story made for children.

Interesting book, it is exciting and fun! This is an easy read (a lot easier than the original) and it is about two lovers that can’t be in love and would die for each other. I recommend it to 8+ as it is a little sad but it is officially a “rom com” (romance comedy)

this book had a very interesting and sinister storyline.

My favourite character's in this book are Romeo and Juliet. I enjoyed when Romeo and Tybalt were fencing. I think that Romeo and Juliet's relation ship is good and bad because at the end they both die. I would recommend this book to someone else.
