    This was the first of Shakespeare's plays that I ever read. I was in middle school and just felt like trying to read some Shakespeare. I'm surprised I ever picked up any Shakespeare again after reading this. (Strangely, people consider my a "Shakespeare freak" even now.) It was okay the first time I read it (on my own in middle school), but it was horrible when my teacher made us read it when I was a sophomore in high school. This is my LEAST favorite of all the plays I've read by Shakespeare.

A young man and woman meet by chance and fall instantly in love. But their families are bitter enemies, and in order to be together the two lovers must be prepared to risk everything. Set in a city torn apart by feuds and gang warfare, Romeo and Juliet is a dazzling combination of passion and hatred, bawdy comedy and high tragedy.
