YOLO Juliet
YOLO Juliet | William Shakespeare, Brett Wright
6 posts | 6 read | 8 to read
Romeo and Juliet, one of the greatest love stories ever told . . . in texts?! Imagine: What if those star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet had smartphones? A classic is reborn in this fun and funny adaptation of one of Shakespeares most famous plays! Two families at war. A boy and a girl in love. A secret marriage gone oh-so-wrong. and h8. The classics just got a whole lot more interesting. ;) tl;dr A Shakespeare play told through its characters texting with emojis, checking in at certain locations, and updating their relationship statuses. The perfect gift for hip theater lovers and teens. A glossary and cast of characters are included for those who need it. For example: tl;dr means too long; didnt read.

Mehso-so

3⭐️If this is the only way to get kids to read the classics, our future generations are doomed. I have to give the authors some credit for taking a dense and sometimes boring story and making it entertaining. There are times while reading this that I shake my head in despair, and others when i think, okay I find find a use for this. I could see where they would increase interest in the original story, or make the original easier to understand.

Yes I have read the original Romeo and Juliette but this annoys me. This is a modernized version of this story but they still keep Juliette 14 and make virginity jokes. Ighhhhhh.

Natasha.C.Barnes Yeah, I want to like things that playfully work with existing books, but I usually hate them. 7y
