After reading Romeo and Juliet and then watching one of the versions of the movie, I have to say that I preferred the book. It let me imagine the story more, even if sometimes I didn't understand what the characters where saying. The language used was the same as in the movie but I felt like in the book I had the chance to interpret certain things, I could let my imagination make the story up as I read while in the movie I felt like I was just losing my time and my ability to create things and stories. I like of the book that you knew exactly when an act started and ended, I mean in a play something like that is pretty important. I also didn't like the movie as much because I felt like some parts of the movie, like the first gun fight at the beggining, was being portrayed as a joke, as if they felt like they had to make the movie a comic. For these reasons I prefer the book instead of the movie.
