Summary: Great modern twist to Shakespeare's classic play
Comment: For my ninth grade English class, we were assigned to read the play Romeo and Juliet. That's why, when at the library, I spotted this book and decided to read it. Compared to the original play, this book was wonderfully sweet and romantic. African-American Romiette Cappelle (called Romi) and Hispanic Julio Montague are the two heros this time. Both sixteen and juniors in high school, they meet over the internet and develop a strong relationship, that even objections from a local gang cannot deter. This book chronicles thier journey to an open relationship that overcomes racial boundaries. I recommend this book for approximately ages 9-14.
Rating: 4
Summary: Great Book!
Comment: Romiette and Julio is a really good book. I decided to read this book because I really like love stories with suspense in them, and this story was a perfect match.
This novel is about a hispanic teenager, Julio Montague, who moves from Texas. At his new school he meets Romiette Cappelle, an African girl who he has a growing liking for. Because Romiette is hanging out with a hispanic, the two lovers are hassled by a purple wearing, black gang,but hassle quickly turns into violence.
I liked this book because it has great suspense that keeps you at the end of your chair. It is also neatly written and easy to understand. Since the characters in this book are teens, it is easy for me to see from their point of view and to understand them.
Something that I didn't enjoy about this book is that it continuosly switches point of view. I think though, that you get use to it by the end of the book.
One of the things that I liked best about this book is that its plot is so different. It's unique from every other book I've read, which makes it even more enjoyable.

Romiette and Julio
By: Sharon M. Draper
The story of Romiette And Julio is a modern version of Shakespeare's classic play "Romeo and Juliette." You might think you know what happened in the story, but you don't. The couple in the story will show you how love can over come any obstacle.
Romiette is an African-American sixteen year old girl who fall in love with Julio a Hispanic sixteen year old boy. The romance between them causes the Devil Dogs a gang who are also called the Family to separated them because of different races. Romiette and Julio love each other so much that they decided to confronted the Devil Dogs. That leads Romiette and Julio to a life and death situation.
In Shakespear's version, both character family are enemies from generation. Both families want Romeo and Juliette to separate from each other. That at the end both end up dead for love. Romiette and Julio have strong belief that their bond will keep them together. And help them over come people who are trying to force them apart. They know true love conquers all just as Romeo and Juliet did.
Romiette and Julio couldn't stand the violence that the gangs are threatening to use if they don't breakup. So to stop the Devil Dogs threat, Romiette and Julio decided to meets the gangs at London Park and solve their problems without telling the authority figures. The danger both character gone through reveal their true feeling for each other. They both will risk each other life to saved the other one.
Romiette and Julio's story is not very different from Shakespear's classic version, but it does have a different ending. Love is powerful, the decision that you choose will effect your future. In my opinion if there love, I rather wait for it to come to me than to search it for my self. This book is good, I would recommend to other people because it explain what is love between two young teens. If you aren't ready to be marry or into a relationship with someone then you shouldn't be dating yet as boyfriend and girlfriend for you be hurting your self and that someone you think you love. So before you think you love someone get to know them first and see if they have the right quality that you think he/she is right for you.
