Reviews

[Ieva · Rating 3 out of 5]

2,5 zvaigznes. Droši vien patiktu labāk, ja man būtu 10-13 gadi. Bildes liekas skaistas, bet saturiski ir ļoti jūtams, ka šis ir vienkāršots virspusējs pārstāsts jaunam lasītājam. Varētu jau strīdēties, ko tad es gaidīju - bet ir gadījies lasīt tādus grafiskos romānus, kas pamanās nezaudēt sava sākotnējā iedvesmas avota dvēseli.

Such a fun and engaging way to experience one of Shakespeare’s most iconic plays!
Romeo and Juliet has been one of my favorite stories since I was a young girl, so I’m always excited to discover new ways to revisit it. This graphic novel is a fantastic introduction to Shakespeare for new or younger readers. It makes the story more accessible and easier to follow, while also including a fun and informative introduction to Shakespeare himself, the storytelling style, and some fascinating facts.

Romeo and Juliet, the star-crossed lovers. I guess I just can’t help but love these dramatic teens, no matter how their story is retold.
