I have to admit, I kind of found Juliet to be interesting at first, but as more was reveled about her, I started to lose interest.Testhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501947064278343128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682235492650584657.post-67616086264473725822012-08-11T20:09:10.993-04:002012-08-11T20:09:10.993-04:00I wasn't a fan of this one either.

The only one who interested me was Juliet (even though she was unlikable too), and there wasn't enough of her to redeem the book for me.

I mean, I'm all for obsessing over boys...I've been there done that all before. ;) However, it was just TOO much after a while, especially when there was way better prospects waiting for her elsewhere.Testhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501947064278343128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682235492650584657.post-15817736364223235632012-08-11T19:19:40.225-04:002012-08-11T19:19:40.225-04:00Thanks for commenting, Nina!

I usually like retellings in general even if I didn't particularly like the story, because I think it's interesting to see how an author crafts their own ideas around an existing basic storyline. But yeah, I hate it when I can't relate to any of the characters too.Testhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501947064278343128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682235492650584657.post-66049331916427695692012-08-11T16:09:32.607-04:002012-08-11T16:09:32.607-04:00I liked this one far better than you, but I agree ...I liked this one far better than you, but I agree that the best parts were those not rooted in Shakespeare (ie, Len.)Livianiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479932701589363306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682235492650584657.post-70509506456558131402012-08-11T15:05:50.912-04:002012-08-11T15:05:50.912-04:00I'm sorry to hear this one fell flat for you :...I'm sorry to hear this one fell flat for you :( I agree, that premise and synopsis really grabbed at me too but if it's so focused on "Oh, Rob please love me!"

I do like retellings and this one sounds nice. I hate it when I can't relate to any of the characters. That makes the story harder to read.
