review 1: I liked it but some points I got confused as to whose point of view was being discussed. However I did like being able to read from both Hamlet and Romeo's point of view (I am glad that I had to read both of those books in high school) and I wasn't lost as to what was happening in this book. My favorite part of this book was the fact that the author would include explanations as to the background of Romeo and Hamlet, for people that have never read either books. I liked the plot and thought that it was okay but I felt that this book was kind of long and it took a bit to get into it (the beginning was slow). I thought it was interesting how Romeo and Hamlet's stories were combined together in this and I am glad that this written using modern writing, Overall I think that th... moreis was an okay book.
review 2: Romeo and Juliet with monsters, mythology and more - who wouldn't be intrigued. I hate to say that I am not a Romeo and Juliet fan, nevertheless, I couldn't resist reading this novel and discovering the unique take Jennifer Trout has created with this timeless love story. Not only do we have Romeo and Juliet, but Trout has also incorporate Hamlet in the mix as well. Stir that all together with witches, sirens, monsters, and ghosts, and add a measure of mythology and the result cooks up to be a paranormal tale of a classic that even the gods would be curious to read. Overall, I enjoyed this and I'm glad I took the time to check it out. less

This book is a mashing together of a lot of things that creates a mess. An interesting mess...
