All in all I've read Romeo & Juliet countless times. I, like so many others were forced to read it out loud during High School English class my freshman year and then many times as a Shakespearian Literature minor in college. After reading the novel Juliet by Anne Fortier I had wanted to reread the classic yet another time. I think that R & J is one of those books that you can't really appreciate until you are no longer forced to read it for sake of a grade.
I can sit here and nit pick all the annoying things which grate on one's nerves as you read or I can lament on those parts that are romantic but all in all it's the sum of all those parts (both good and bad) which has made this book a classic and still one of my favorites of Shakespeare.
