About this listen
Unique to this collection is:
- An overview of the tragedy Romeo and Juliet
- A study of the themes present in the tragedy Romeo and Juliet
- A list of the best famous quotes from the tragedy Romeo and Juliet
You may, of course, skip all of it and go straight to the main title if you do not want any spoilers and come back later to the beginning.
Shakespeare writes about the plight of Romeo and Juliet with a lot of empathy and views their tragedy as a result of bad fate, rather than a problem with their characters. We sense from the very start that their relationship is doomed.
Romeo and Juliet are portrayed as sincere and virtuous young people who are madly in love, but because of the feud between their families, their relationship has to end. As they won't even consider a separation, the only way out of the situation they find themselves in is by taking their own lives.
What makes this story so sad is that romantic love ends so grimly for a very stupid reason. And the tender age and the innocence of the young lovers make their fate even more tragic.
Enjoy this timeless classic!

Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of best-selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.

What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read.

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.

Not great, but not too bad.
The author of the overview states that Romeo and Juliet saw that the only way out of their predicament was taking their own lives, but I find that inaccurate, as Juliet actually had found a better way, and only took hers in the end as a result of Romeo's despair at her supposed death. This was no planned suicide pact to escape their troubles, but rather rash youthful overreaction to personal tragedy in both parts. The reader slipped into modern mode of speech occasionally, for instance using inconsistent instead of inconstant moon during the balcony scene. Overall, this was okay, but far from the best telling.

Great Performance
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This was a reread for me. I have read this book a couple of times. It was however the first time I have listened to it on audio. I enjoyed it. The narrator was great as was the commentary.

The Play That Inspired All Those Movies
This edition provides some useful study notes and a quick reference for most of the best known quotes in addition to the complete text of what is, perhaps, the best known of Shakespeare's plays. It is well read although the single narrator does make it difficult, at times, to sort out who is talking.

Narrator needs training
This is definitely not the first book I’ve read/listened to by Shakespeare. I’ve watched plays, movies, read the book, yet still was curious to try this rendition.
This is the first book I’ve listened to by this narrator (Andrew Arnett). He uses the same expression in every conversation which makes everything run together. Parts like ‘Enter Romeo’ seem part of the conversation due to a lack of pause or differentiate in the narration. It makes listening awkward and confusing. His cadence is not very fluid and takes the fluidity from the words. Character voices are not well differentiated. Unfortunately I’ve listened to much better renditions.
There are no explicit sex scenes, excessive violence or swearing.
