A fun, fast read! Not only humorous, but a great companion for anyone who's ever watched/read Romeo and Juliet and felt like they were missing something (exactly who is that fighting in scene 1 and why?) Looking forward to the next one!

A great quick, fun read!!! Will be wondertful for my oldest to read (after she reads Shakespeare's version) to help her understand what she will miss trying to get through original. (& she is one of the 3 people living under a rock who doesn't know how the play ends!)

"Romeo and Juliet for the Rest of Us" is Shakespeare for us common folk. Absolutely loved it!!

That noise you hear is William Shakespeare rolling over in his grave thanks to the irrevent but easily understood commentary by Lori Mitchell in her debut book on "Romeo and Juliet." Though Mr. Shakespeare's plays are based on universal human experience, the Elizabethen language acts as a stumbling block for modern readers. Hence, "Shakespeare For The Rest of Us." This book and its subsequent editions should act as a spark to explore Shakespeare's plays and a tongue-in-cheek reference guide to anyone struggling through a school assignment.
