My Thoughts
Beautifully depicted coloring book that's kept me captivated for hours.
William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet A Coloring Classic is absolutely gorgeous. There is so much to enjoy in this book especially the carefully selected quotes that you can decorate with a careful hand. I loved how they pulled passages from the story and added scenic brilliance to the moment!
"These violent delights have violent ends and their triumph dies, like fire and powder, which, as they kiss, consumes." ~Friar Laurence
"I fear, too early; for my mind misgives some consequence yet hanging in the stars…" ~Romeo
The illustrators, Metallinou and Fanine, did an amazing job at creating perfectly drawn scenes that make you feel like the story is coming to life as you add color to the pages. You can get lost in a page for hours with the intricate detail.
Overall, Renia Metallinou and Bethan Fanine did a fantastic job of illustrating this classic. This work of art will keep me busy for weeks. I can't wait to add color to the rest of these pages! Love it!Thank you to Random House for offering me an opportunity to sample the first set of coloring books.
