This reminds me of when my son read the Hunger Games at 11/12. He was reading a lot of other dystopian literature at that time and he liked those aspects of the book. But he HATED the romantic part of the story, thought the main characters were just acting stupid and that the main character with the wrong person. Part of this is the fact that he wasn't emotionally ready to identify with the romantic feelings yet. But in this case I somewhat agree with him.

He is doing Romeo & Juliet in class right now, and is a LOT happier with it than the poetry unit they just finished. He has never read the book but has seen a film version, and in the theater before.
