My first Stephen King book was The Green Mile. The Green Mile was written in 1996 and it belongs to the dark fantasy genre, the title is inspired by the setting of the book, in fact the Green Mile is a part of the Cold Mountain jail, in this area that's characterized by pale green walls, the most dangerous criminals were left  before their execution day. In its whole the book is written really well and we can understand the ability of the writer to grab the attention and describe the place where the actions take place.

Like we were saying earlier the book takes place in the Cold Mountain prison, the story is told by one of the main characters Paul Edgecombe who's now old and lives in a hospice, in the meantime, to avoid memory loss, he's recalling the things happened in the 30s when a new prisoner arrived, John Coffey, another main character who's accused of a terrible crime against two little girls. From that moment in which Coffey entered the Green Mile, weird things start to happen and through the whole book Paul Edgecombe and his colleagues, Percy Wetmore, Harry Terwilliger and Brutus Howell try to understand all the mysteries.

I read this book during the summer holidays and I found it really fascinating since I never read anything by Stephen King. The book is really long, around six hundred pages but above that I found the writing really easy and entertaining. The start is a bit slow because the writer is setting the story but after the first fifty pages or so, the story starts to flow and it becomes really fascinating.

I really enjoyed the scene changes between the 30s, the life in the prison and the problems in the society of that time and the present life of the main character where he describes his new way of life as an old man in a hospice.

In the end it's a really good book that I recommend for the summer time when, maybe, there's a bit more time to enjoy the intricate story that surrounds this book. I think that adults could really find this book interesting but also teenagers if they like the 30s and the whole prison and death penalty topic, I don't recommend it if someone is sensitive about the death topic that's described in a few occasions.

I chose to review John Green’s brilliant debut novel, Looking for Alaska, a book I read during the summer holiday. It proved to be the perfect companion for those long, reflective days, offering a story that was both intellectually engaging and deeply moving.

The novel narrates a captivating story about Miles "Pudge" Halter, who enrolls at a boarding school seeking "The Great Perhaps." The narrative is cleverly divided into "Before" and "After," which builds incredible suspense around a pivotal event. At Culver Creek, Miles finds deep friendship with his roommate, "The Colonel," and falls for the enigmatic and complicated Alaska Young. As you can see, the setup is classic, but Green's execution is what makes it extraordinary. The novel powerfully explores themes of friendship, loss, and the challenging pursuit of finding meaning in life, questions that feel particularly resonant when you have the time to ponder them, much like during a summer break.

Honestly, I found the dialogue incredibly authentic and the characters' bond, shown through their elaborate pranks and profound late-night conversations, was an undeniable highlight. Green has a remarkable talent for crafting characters who speak and feel like real, intelligent teenagers, making their joys and struggles genuinely affecting.

However, I was a little disappointed by how some secondary characters weren't fully developed, as they sometimes felt more like fixtures in the main trio's world than individuals in their own right. Personally, I also found it difficult to relate to their romanticized, rebellious "teenage dream" lifestyle of constant rule-breaking, which at times felt a bit idealized.

Despite this, the book's raw and honest exploration of life's big questions is deeply thought-provoking. It’s a novel that doesn’t offer easy answers, which is its greatest strength. I would highly recommend Looking for Alaska to anyone who enjoys authentic, character-driven stories about complex emotions and the turbulent journey of growing up. It is a funny, gripping, and ultimately moving novel that truly stays with you long after you finish the final page.

The book I would like to review is Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, and the simplified edition I read was published by Black Cat. (l'introduzione dovrebbe contenere altro. Ristudiare la struttura di una review)

This famous tragedy tells the story of two teenagers, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, who fall in love in the city of Verona. Their relationship is complicated because their families are enemies. They secretly get married and hope to build a future together, but a series of unlucky events leads to a very sad and tragic ending.

The main themes of this book are young love, destiny, and the conflict between the families. I liked reading this book because the story was interesting and easy to follow. The language is simple and the grammar is not too difficult, so it's a good choice for students learning English. This edition also includes exercises after each chapter, which help with understanding and vocabulary.

There are also several cultural pages that give readers useful information about Shakespeare’s biography, the city of Verona, and different film versions of Romeo and Juliet, which make the book more fun to read.

I would recommend Romeo and Juliet to anyone who enjoys romantic stories, dramatic endings, or wants to read a classic book in a simple way. (la conclusione dovrebbe contenere altro oltre alla recommendation. Ristudiare la struttura di una review)

The book I would like to review is Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare in 1597 and published in a simplified edition (level B1.2) by Black cat. The book tells the story of two young people who fall in love despite the rivalry between their families. Their love will lead them to experience strong emotions and make difficult choices.

The tragedy takes place in Verona, where two rival families, the Montagues and the Capulets, have hated each other for a long time. During a party organised by the Capulets, Romeo and Juliet meet and fall in love. Then they decide to see each other secretly and to get married secretly with the help of Friar Lawrence and the nurse. After Romeo kills Tybalt, he is exiled. Meanwhile, Juliet's parents want her to marry Paris, so she follows Friar Lawrence's plan to avoid marriage. Romeo, not knowing about the plan, believes that Juliet is dead and takes his own life.

The book is very romantic, for the deep love story between the two young people, but at the same time very sad and tragic for the ending, where the two young people die for love and because of the rivalry between the families. (manca un giudizio critico personale sull'opera e sui personaggi)

I would definitely recommend reading Romeo end Juliet because it's a very intense love story with characters who experience very strong emotions and who have to make difficult choices.

This play is about young love, the role of fate and family conflict. I enjoyed reading this book because it was simple to follow and clear. (manca un commento personale sulle tematiche, i personaggi, ecc. da collegare al resto del paragrafo). The vocabulary and grammar aren’t difficult, so they don’t cause any problem while you are reading the story.

The book I would like to review is “Romeo and Juliet”, written by William Shakespeare and published in a simplified version by Black Cat (it includes exercises, insights and the option to download the audiobook). The play tells the story of Romeo and Juliet, two young lovers who despite being madly in love must keep their love  a secret because of the hatred between their families.

The story takes place in Verona, where the two lovers live with their rival families, the Montagues and the Capulets. They meet at a party, fall in love at first sight and decide to marry in secret. However, fate has other plans for them, and just a few days after their first meeting, the two lovers lose their lives.

I really liked this book because it tells the story of a great love, full of twists and turns; it also shows how love can be powerful and dangerous at the same time. This version of the book also has exercises, which I found very useful to learn new words and remember the main facts of the plot.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys classic stories and wants to improve their English in a simple way. (la conclusione dovrebbe contenere altro oltre alla recommendation. Ristudiare la struttura di una review)

I would like to review the Black Cat simplified version of William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet. It tells the story of two young people, Romeo and Juliet, who fall in love even though their families are enemies. (manca un giudizio personale da sviluppare nel paragrafo 3)

The play takes place in Verona where Romeo and Juliet live. They are the main characters because they are in love with each other but their families are rivals. By the way this doesn't stop the two lovers, who get married in secret with the help of Friar Lawrence. However, their love is "death-marked" and after a series of unfortunate events and a big misunderstanding they have a tragic ending that brings peace to the city.

I really like this book because it shows powerful and strong love, but also the dangerous consequences of violence. The two families were guided  by hate and this caused a lot of death. The semplified version of the play was easy to understand and the exercises at the end of every paragraph helped me with the words I didn't know.

Therefore I strongly recommend it to a young public who is interested in love stories that end in tragedy and to anyone who would like to improve their English.  (la conclusione dovrebbe contenere altro oltre alla recommendation. Ristudiare la struttura di una review)

Remember that for Shakespeare our story is already written by fate. (questo concetto importante doveva essere inserito e argomentato nel secondo paragrafo e non buttato lì dopo la conclusione)

What would you do for love? Would you fight for love? Would you die for love? They did.

This is the story of “Romeo and Juliet”, written by William Shakespeare and published in a simplified version (B1.2) by Black Cat, which I read this summer. This is a story about two young lovers who come from rival families in Verona.

The protagonists are Romeo, the son of Lord and Lady Montague, and Juliet, the fourteen year old daughter of Lord and Lady Capulets. One day they fell in love at first sight and decided to marry secretly, because their families are enemies. They asked Juliet’s nurse and Friar Laurence for help, but as they try to build their own path, fate seems to work against them.

I really enjoyed how “Romeo and Juliet” explores important themes like the power of love, the inevitability of Fate and the social division. I don’t usually enjoy romantic stories very much, but this caught my attention because it goes beyond just love and it also covers deeper aspects of human nature and society. This book explains the duality of love: on one side it brings connection and passion, on the other side it leads to secrecy and tragedy. I think this book is perfect for people of my age because it isn’t complicated to read, it also has some exercises at the end of every chapter and some interesting in-depth analysis.

So remember: “Love comes from nothing. It is heavy and light, serious and foolish, hot and cold, sick and healthy.”

The book I want to review is Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, published by Black Cat in a B1.2 simplified version.

It is a sad love story about two young people from enemy families in Verona. Romeo is from the Montague family and Juliet is from the Capulet family, they fall in love at first sight and decide to love each other in secret.

The main theme of the story is love versus hate. There are also ideas about destiny, family pressure, violence, and the danger of secrets.

Even if this edition is simplified, the story is still emotional. The footnotes were very useful because they explained new words and helped me to understand the text without a dictionary.

My favorite part was when Romeo and Juliet meet at the Capulet party. It was romantic and magical, even in simple English. But I found some parts in the middle a bit slow, especially the parts without the main characters.

I recommend this book to teenagers, English learners, and people who enjoy classic love stories. It is not good for readers who prefer modern language or happy endings.

The book I’m going to review is the Black Cat simplified version of Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare. The story is about an impossible and tragic love between a girl and a boy coming from rival families: the Capulets and the Montagues.

The play is set in Verona and it all began with the feud between the families. At a party Romeo and Juliet met and it was love at first sight. Unfortunately, despite all the effort they made to fight for their love, fate wasn’t in their favour and this led to their dramatic but also touching end.

I truly liked reading this book because I really enjoy tragic love stories and the themes like young love, fate (??) or the feud, which are very meaningful. I particularly liked the balcony scene because it shows that love can give you the strength to go through everything.

In conclusion I think it’s a good book and it could be pretty useful for students who are learning English and they want to do it in a different way.  (la conclusione dovrebbe contenere altro oltre alla recommendation. Ristudiare la struttura di una review)

The play Romeo and Juliet was written by William Shakespeare and published in a simplified edition by Black Cat-CIDEB. The story is one of the most famous love tragedies in literature. The main theme of the book is the impossible love between two young people who come from rival families. Today I will review this book and I will explain why I think it’s still important and interesting today.

The book tells the story of Romeo, from the Montague family, and Juliet, from the Capulet family. Even though their families hate each other, Romeo and Juliet fall in love at first sight. They decide to get married in secret, but a series of misunderstandings and bad luck leads to their tragic death.

The writer’s purpose is to show the power of love, but also the destructive effects of hatred and violence between families; the emotions in the story are strong and still easy to understand today.

I really liked the characters of Romeo and Juliet because they are brave, even though sometimes they act without thinking. The story is dramatic and moving, and this edition makes it easier to read for students with clear language and notes.

In conclusion, Romeo and Juliet is a story about love, hate, and fate. I think this book is very good, and I would recommend it to students who want to discover Shakespeare in a simpler way.

Review of Romeo and Juliet

The last book I read was Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare and published in a simplified version (B1.2 level) by Blackcat. The story is about two young people, Romeo and Juliet, who fall in love even though their families are enemies.

The story happens in Verona and begins with a fight between the Montagues and the Capulets. Romeo is from the Montague family and Juliet is from the Capulet family. They are very young, around 14 to 16 years old, and they fall in love immediately. Their love is strong, but they cannot escape their sad destiny.

For me, the book was sometimes a bit boring, especially because it’s a love story and I usually prefer other types of stories. But I think it’s still a good book for students learning English. It’s not difficult to read and has exercises and notes that help understand the story and Shakespeare’s life.

The part I liked most was the ending, because people finally understand that hate only brings pain. I didn’t enjoy how the characters tried to lie to their families it felt too risky and caused many problems.

In conclusion, I think this book is useful and interesting, especially for students who want to learn English and read something classic but not too hard.

I recently read the Black Cat edition of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and really enjoyed it. The book tells the famous story of two young lovers from Verona who come from rival families. Their love is strong but tragic, and the ending is very dramatic. I really like romantic stories, especially when there is also drama, so this book was perfect for me.

The language in this edition was quite simple, which was great because it helped me understand the story easily. There were also beautiful illustrations that made the characters and setting feel more real. The exercises at the end of each chapter were very helpful. They helped me remember what I had just read and reflect on the main events and characters. Luckily, they weren't too difficult, so I could do them without feeling frustrated.

Romeo and Juliet is a famous play by William Shakespeare, but we read a simplified version made by Black Cat. The story is about two young people, Romeo and Juliet, who fall in love.

Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is a Capulet, and she was only 14 years old . Their families hate each other, so they have to meet secretly. They get married in secret, but many problems happen. In the end, both Romeo and Juliet die, and their families stop fighting.

I liked the story because it shows the power of love. I really liked the part when Romeo and Juliet got married secretly because it showed how much they pcared for each other. I did not like the part when the characters made quick decisions without thinking. The story teaches that love is strong, but sometimes rushing or acting with out thinking can be dangerous.

Furthermore, in my opinion this book is very fluent and has a simple vocabulary.

In conclusion, I recommend this book to everyone who likes love stories and drama.

If your heart says one thing but your family says another, what would you do for love?

This is the question that hits you in the famous play Romeo and Juliet, originally written by William Shakespeare in 1564.

Even native speakers can find the original language difficult to read, but if you prefer a simplified version, I recommend the Black Cat edition.

This edition is short and includes footnotes for the more difficult vocabulary and exercises. It is at a B1.2 level, so it is especially recommended for students in the second or third year of high school.

The story is about two young lovers, Juliet and Romeo, who fall in love at first sight at a party. Their families have been enemies for over 100 years, so they have to keep their love a secret. They face many problems, and in the end, their love leads to a tragedy.

I definitely recommend it to students because the Black Cat version is simplified. I really liked the exercises that helped me remember the vocabulary and the main points of the story. I also enjoyed the extra information, especially about Shakespeare’s life, which the book included. In my opinion the most useful thing was being able to download an app from the link and listen to the audiobook, which helped me understand the pronuncia

The book I’m going to review is Romeo and Juliet of Wiliam Shakespeare, published from Black Cat. This version is a romanticized one. In my opinion there are two main topics in this book, the first I solve, in fact Romeo and Juliet is a love story between two young teenager that felt in love for each other. The second topic is the hate between two families that led to the death their children.

The book start whit the description of the situation between Montagues and Capulet families. These two families hate each other, and they always fight. Romeo was the son of lord Montagues and Juliet the daughter of Lord Capulet. During a party at Capulet house Romeo felt in love whit Juliet. Despite their strong love, the two boys will both end up dying, because to the hate between Montagues and Capulet family.

I don’t really enjoy this book because I don’t like love story. I also think that the story unfolds too quickly.

Despite this I recommend this book to student that like love story and want to improve their level of English.
