First Impression: One of the greatest love stories of all time? Check. Flipping the so-called greatest love story on its butt? Double check. The idea that the tragic romance that is Romeo and Juliet is a complete lie instantly drew me to this tale. Plus, I loved the concept: lovers fighting a war fo...

Interesting beginning... middle had highs and lows... ending was PERFECT...I appreciate that not everyone is going to like this book. It's very much a Marmite kind of thing - you either love it or you hate it - except, unlike Marmite, I loved it! I think I liked it even more because it was very far ...

When I first saw this book, it seemed right up my alley. I've always hated the story of Romeo and Juliet, being on the side that always said that it was a satire (though really, we don't know for sure what Shakespeare intended exactly), but I really enjoyed this. At first, the present tense through ...

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. To be honest, while probably an affront to some that Romeo is a jerk who turned evil while Juliet was a naive girl tricked into being immortal and helping soul mates.I found that characterization interesting, as well as some of the plots, so even with its ...

Full review also posted @ http://sarahliveslovesreads.blogspot.com/2011/08/juliet-immortal-by-stacey-jay.htmlGoing into this I was intrigued by the idea of a retelling of the Romeo & Juliet story. I have mixed feelings about the original story. I know it's hailed all over the place for being the bes...

Po Tris & Izzie som si myslela, že neexistuje prerozprávanie, ktoré by ma dokázalo zaujať a prekvapiť a ejhle! :D Od začiatku až do konca som uvažovala nad tým ako to skončí a EJHLE! ďalšie prekvapenie, ani jeden z mojich predpokladov sa nepotvrdil a Juliet aj s jej milovaným dostali pekne na držku....

Juliet ImmortalAs a new trend goes, retellings come and go in fits and starts...we've recently gone through a mass retellings of fairy-tales, then Greek mythologies, but one that seems to stay with us a lot are the retellings of Shakespeare stories. Might as well right? Better than another retelling...

Juliet never took her own life. She was murdered by the person she trusted most, Romeo, a sacrifice made to ensure his own immortality. What he didn't anticipate was Juliet would be granted eternity as well, to become an agent for the Ambassadors of Light. For 700 years, she's fought Romeo for the s...

Also appears on The Screaming Nitpicker.Readers, I face a conundrum. On one hand, Juliet Immortal has its merits and I recognize that they're there. On the other hand, I still did not enjoy this book because of the problems I had with it. I try to rate books objectively, but this is one book I am ra...
