As I was reading the first act of Romeo and Juliet, it was almost as if I had entered another world. The way the characters talked was so proper and hard to understand, that it took me a while to final read through it and understand what I read. I liked how things were detailed enough so the reader knew what was going on and felt like they were actually there. So far, I'm not completely liking Romeo & Juliet, but maybe that will change later in the play.The plot is interesting, but I mean common, who doesn't already know how the story is going to turn out? Knowing what happens at the end and knowing how the characters develop (vaguely) kinda ruins the view of the play.

Wonderestruck Final Thoughts
I finished reading Wonderstruck the first week, so this week I will just be sharing some final thoughts about the wonderful book.
I really enjoyed how this book was written. The part of the book that was written was absolutely phenomenal and the drawn portion of it was filled with intricate detail that made you look a little harder into the picture and the part of the story it told. The story itself was different than most stories. It didn't follow one character in one time period, but instead it followed two from two different time periods. What was really cool was at the very end, about the last 100 pages or so, both stories are connected in a way that the reader might not have expected.
Overall, I really liked this book and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a fast read, a "picture" book, or a book that will bring a new love of reading. I can't say that there is a lot of action or drama, mystery or suspense; everything flows nicely and creates a great story.
