This was one of those books that I chanced on while perusing the library shelves. I'd never heard of it before but I'd always been fascinated with the tale of Romeo and Juliet so I took a chance and borrowed it that same day. It was ... okay. There was nothing completely memorable to me, but I remember thinking that as a whole, the book told a decent story. Or I should say, the authot told a decent story. Unfortunately, for the most part, I thought the book sort of dragged itself out. Enough that when I read the last page, I closed the book with a quiet sigh of relief.
