A review by mycozybooknest
Romeo and Jude by Marty Ross
5.0
4.50*
This was totally unexpected.
Not the m/m of it all because, really, going into it with this title... you gotta be blind not to know. I really liked this take on Romeo and Juliet. It was really well done but, at the same time, everything went by so fast that I didn't really have time to actually "get to know" the characters well enough to like them or something. I realised that Tyrone was Tybalt, so that's fine, but he had a touch of crazy to him. Charlie was ok, I guess. Miranda was cool.
Overall, the big surprise was how this audio was done. It doesn't read like a book at all. It's almost like it's a play having been recorded. Or a movie or something. It's 100% dialogue. I read some of the reviews and people have mentioned audio drama?!
It was pretty cool but I couldn't give it 5* because there were little things I either didn't quite completely get or liked although I basically know the whole Romeo and Juliet story by heart.
