Format:Paperback
As a GCSE english student, i didnt get the language used in R&J at first and found the play very hard to read and hard to write an essay on.
This book is a life-saver! It has summaries of each Act as well as character files, clever language and theme ideas (that you are unlikely to find yourself) as well as essay-writing tips. I found the play a lot easier to write about with this book.
Also, it is a good price on here, i paid a fiver for it. What more do you want?!

This book is an excellent introduction to what can be a dense and complex play. It starts with a simple plot outline. It then progresses to more in depth analysis of the play scene by scene. After which it lays out some key themes, symbols and ideas in the play in the forms of mini essays. It has a fairly good glossary, a potted history of Shakespeare himself and how his plays would have appeared. It also has a good time line and chronology, a glossary of common theatrical and critical terms and a good recommended reading list. It is very useful indeed.

Got a youngster who hates this play?
Then this book is for them. Written in a very readable way, it really brings the play to life for those who, 'Just can't see the point'.

Easy to use
Good for classroom use. We all have those students who need the extra help with understanding the play or catching up on missed work.
