This week I've been reading the legendary Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare, and I have mixed feelings about the book so far. One part of me likes where the book is going but another part of me says that I should drop the book( even though I can't). So I'll highlight the good and bad parts of the book for me in this response.
In the book, I sort of enjoy looking at the hidden messages of the story, like how one thing means something else entirely. But another part of me just wants to scream from the mental anguish their manner of speaking has caused me, wanting to think that it means the way they say things but it just doesn't want me to do this apparently. Another thing is the characters. New characters rapidly appear throughout the story and the each seems significant in their own way, but since it's in the format of a play I don't get to truly know the characters like I would be able to in other book and it bugs me to no end. I'm I reader who likes to understand most of what he's reading, and this book isn't really helping.
In all I would say that I have to read more of this book before I develop a real opinion of the story I think I would have to read more of it before I start crashing down on books the way I normally would. If my opinion leans to one side, that's most likely the opinion I'll stick with for the rest of the book.
