![]() Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. These books are just such a fun way to read Shakespeare, and a lot quicker. I remember as a teenager I loved the story of Romeo and Juliet, but as an adult I definitely see the story differently. Now I see Juliet as the typical love struck teen, but Romeo is a grown man that is obsessive and over the top. It's a cute premise. It did include some surprisingly good details about character and relationships but...in the end, I'm an English teacher. It's just not really Romeo and Juliet without Shakespeare's language and poetry. (Except for West Side Story; Bernstein makes that an acceptable adaptation.) And there were other key details (e.g. Romeo getting in the way of Tybalt and Mercutio's fight which allows Mercutio to be stabbed) that were glossed over or entirely ignored. While I didn't find this as laugh-out-loud funny as Macbeth #killingit, I continue to be amused by the entire concept of retelling Shakespeare in text message format, with emojis, acronyms, and all. In the case of YOLO Juliet, that makes the young voices of the leads come across as especially modern and genuine. This is a great way to get kids (and adults) to read a synopsized version that's a lot more fun than Cliff's Notes. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

If you have never read Romeo and Juliet and are wanting to read a version of it, this could be a fast read for you, that helps you to understand the story without all the old English styled writing. I have always enjoyed the story of Romeo and Juliet, however I do not particularly enjoy the original version, but this one was well done and worth the read. I hope that my daughter will read it and quite possibly enjoy it. I look forward to reading more books in this series.
If you have not read the classic Romeo and Juliet and do not know the story it is simple. Two families are at war with one another and their teenage children decide to get married in secret. The fight concludes in the death of many including the young newly weds.
I also, wonder how many more classics they will be writing in this style. As I stated, above it was a fun read, it was engaging and enjoyable. (
