"Very accurate to the original play!! Gorgeous art! I would recommend this to anyone who is either a big fan of Romeo and Juliet or whoever wants a different way to read the play. I would have loved to read this when I was assigned to in English class. It is easier to follow, since you're not trying to tell what is descriptions and what isn't. <br/><br/>Very well done!"
"I know Shakespeare never made his tragedies 100% serious, but the story of Romeo and Juliet is so incredibly fast-paced that I couldn’t take it seriously at all. Who marries someone they met the day before? Apparently a 13 and 15 year old who would rather die than not. Iconic story, couldn’t get behind it."
"This felt like satire for some reason."
