Well, I have to say that this book would make an excellent romantic comedy movie. It just doesn't translate well into a book. With 104 chapters. And an epilogue. The plot was pretty good, and I really enjoyed all the trouble Romeo & Juliet got themselves into. But I'm of the opinion that alllll of that could've been done in, say, 30-35 chapters. Whew! Juliet was a pretty unlikeable character, I didn't feel an ounce of sympathy for what she went through. Romeo reacted how I wkd expect any fun-loving, irritated man would in retaliation. Both were hardheaded & while the basic plot was good, the two of them just didn't know when to quit. Overall it's not a horrible book, just incredibly long and unexciting toward the end.
