I just posted a review of Juliet Immortal as well (am jealous, though, b/c yours is much better than mine :p)<br />Anyway, I enjoyed your review, agreed with you about a lot (especially the ending), but like you said, I thought the book was good overall.<br />Ninja GirlNinja Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00901215698632029838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806690011500229962.post-70542882840574071892011-08-30T12:19:53.867-05:002011-08-30T12:19:53.867-05:00I really want to read this one!

I ...I agree with Chrizette, what a wonderful cover! I like retellings, but Romeo and Juliet was one of my least favorite books ever. I didn't find the original story romantic in the least, but more or less just...depressing. And kind of stupid.

I'm sick of the "revamped" versions. I don't want another R&J in a different time. I want something that's along the same lines, but vastly different. And I have to admit, I kinda like the idea of Romeo killing Juliet for immortality. What can I say? I'm twisted like that.MamaKittyhttp://mamakittyreviews.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806690011500229962.post-91328282933776636002011-08-30T11:34:37.544-05:002011-08-30T11:34:37.544-05:00This one is in my TBR pile - can't wait till I...This one is in my TBR pile - can't wait till I get to it . . . and LOVE the cover!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01701197855614442856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806690011500229962.post-62120408168084168732011-08-30T10:26:44.090-05:002011-08-30T10:26:44.090-05:00Great review, I love Romeo and Juliet, but I'd...Great review, I love Romeo and Juliet, but I'd love to read this different take on everything.

I also have a hard time connecting with immortal book characters. But if I read enough positive reviews I must end up giving the book a try.Simchahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14730042073954228379noreply@blogger.com
