Customer Reviews

Used as a companion to Shakespeare
My son was reading Romeo and Juliet for the first time (his first time reading Shakespeare in fact). It was a bit tricky for him. I got him this Cliff Notes so that he could read the synopsis before reading each of the scenes as well as the character studies, etc. This really helped him get a better understanding of the play, and (most importantly), helped him LIKE Shakespeare! He wasn't frustrated at all!

Notes for Romeo and Juliet
I would not recommend this for my students. I would purchase a modern day English translation of "Romeo and Juliet" that has the original words on the left side and modern day English on the right side instead of purchasing this. You really can't enjoy Shakespeare this way. Don't cheat yourself from a good education and read only this. Take the time to read the original play along with a good translation. You will be glad that you did.

Excellent for Students
It is very easy to understand when compared to the original text on Romeo & Juliet. Great to use for studying for exams and help with essays. What else can i say it's fantastic!
