Avi
HarperTrophy, 1988
Read this book about a life for a modern a 5-7th grader.
I read the book, Romeo & Juliet Together at last (and alive) by Avi Wortis. It was about a boy who was in love with a girl . The boy liked poetry and the girl could never put a book down. The boy's friends think that if he could put on the play Romeo & Juliet his friend would be Romeo and his lover would be Juliet. It worked out as he planned and they got the parts .There is one problem; ...

Enlightening
I knew there was something wrong with society, but it took this book to help me identify what intensified this mad race for the almighty thing. I appreciated that she was able to include scientific data without interrupting the follow of the book. I also liked the voice in this book better then some of the down shifting memoirs I was looking at at the time. It was a great combo of readability ...

The Compulsive Reader's Reviews
Kate Sanderson prides herself in being sensible. After an unfortunate romantic encounter that ended badly, she's resolved that no one needs romance until after they're out of school and have a career. Her friends despair of her ever falling in love, but for Kate, schoolwork is satisfying enough. So that's why when she wins a Shakespeare essay contest with an all expense paid trip to Verona, Italy ...

Romeo and Juliet (Folger Shakespeare Library)26 reviews
William Shakespeare
Washington Square Press, 2004
A rightful classic
This was my first Shakespeare and it certainly won't be my last. While some people dislike this book for the "love at first sight" "stupidity" of the two, I think you need to try to get past that. I definitely agree that Romeo and Juliet are morons, but it makes for a nice story. Would you really want to watch a play about two people who court each other for years, get married to the happiness of ...

Perfect!
I'm a high school freshman studying Romeo & Juliet and I cannot understand hardly any of it. I found this book at a Borders bookstore and I have been reading it and it is extremely helpful. There's a line-by-line translation that makes a ton more sense. Buy this if you're having trouble with R&J!

Romeo and Juliet (Shakespeare Made Easy; Parallel Edition)
This was a great resource while teaching "Romeo and Juliet" last year to my English 1 students. I was able to explain the more difficult passages to them as we read along in the book. I wish that I had the money to purchase this book for all of my students. I plan to use it again this school year.

Twilight of an Era
I found this a fascinating book, extremely well-written and a sharply-focused peek into a bygone era. For history buffs it is especially valable as not only the breaking up of a world which was never more to be, but the mindsets of various segments of a society which was to be turned u.pside-down by a war that decimated a generation. I highly recommend it.

Fun twist on Romeo and Juliet tale
Seventeen-year-old Mimi Wallingford seems to have it all. A famous Broadway name and the part of Juliet in a family production.
But she doesn't want to act. What she really wants to do is go away to college to study medicine like her aunt in California. But her mother wants none of that. Mimi feels trapped in her life.
Then both her and the lead of the play, heartthrob Troy Summer, are ...

Great book...for leisure reading or for school!
This book is great, it sets aside the difficulty that comes with reading Shakespear's Old English, and it especially great for school kids who have to read the book in class. They can translate the old english and it makes the words easier to understand. It literally has the Old English on one side and New English on the other! Great buy...Great Price! If you have to read Romeo and Juliet for ...

Full text + helpful information
I have to say that the information given in this book was definitely helpful. I liked how they summarized the following scene at the beginning of the scene and had commentary on the scene at the end. The commentary is definitly helpful, although it could be a little bit more in depth in places. It is particularly helpful how they define terms in the margins that may be unfamiliar to readers.

Romeo and Juliet
I think that this is a great book because it tells you how much two people can really love each other and they gave up their lifes for their love. I have seen the movie version about Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and still love the book every time I revisit the story. Every word fascinates the reader into truly feeling the passion and tragedy of these two lovers. Even a character such as Tybalt ...

Romeo and Juliet and West Side Story (Signet Classic Shakespeare)22 reviews

A logical pairing of 2 great theatrical works
This is two books in one: the text of William Shakespeare's tragedy "Romeo and Juliet" and the text of "West Side Story," the 20th century musical with a book by Arthur Laurents and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. The book also includes an introduction by Norris Houghton, who notes, among other things, that WSS is based on R&J. Each text tells the story of a love affair between a young woman and a ...

A wonderful way to introduce Shakespeare to kids
As a homeschooling parent I was looking for a way to introduce Shakespeare to my kids (9 and 10) -- they have loved these stories -- which we read aloud and then discussed (plot, characters, themes, conflicts, setting, motivations, etc.) -- the verse is enjoyable and effectively incorporates selected passages from the original in a seamless way. My kids have also enjoyed the illustrations and ...

The Mythic Tarot54 reviews

I am impressed
I have been a tarot card reader for many years now, and have been reading with the Rider-Waite for all this time. Suddenly, I felt the urge to see and own some more decks that originate from another mythic base. Even though some of the reviews on this page said that the cards and the book were flimsy, I still trusted my instincts and made the purchase. I was pleasantly surprised.
