There was a reason that this book was up on NetGalley as an auto approve title. I found it so completely unrealistic and without depth that I was unable to finish it. This is the first book on my Did Not Finish shelf in 2011 and this bothers me. I love the story of Tristan and Isolde. I lov...
Rarely do I find books worthy of only 1 star or so awful I have to say so, but sadly, this is how I felt about this book.I was looking forward to this as a re-telling of Tristan and Isolde, but the book is so poorly written and the characters are downright annoying and lack any sort of substance. Iz...
A painfully amateurish effort that reads like the roughest of first drafts. The YA equivalent of join-the-dots, only requiring less effort than that activity. The writing is childish and reeks desperately of wanting to sound authentically teen but fails miserably. It honestly reminded me of a story ...
I read and enjoyed Harrison’s Princess series, which had beautiful writing and good, strong women characters. When I heard she was writing a retelling of the Tristan and Isolde myth, I was excited. I had high expectations and when I saw that it was up on NetGalley, you better believe I snatched it u...
Read This Review & More Like It On My Blog!The cover is by far the most appealing aspect of the mess that is Tris & Izzie. Simply and best put: the cover is the best part of the complicated mess that is this novel. I'd heard of a few other novels by this author I have wanted to read (mostly [b:Mira,...
For my full review, you can go to my blog:http://the-bookaholic.blogspot.comThank you, NetGalley, and EgmontUSA, for the opportunity to read this. This, of course, does not affect my opinion in any way. It’s not like me to hate a book. Yes, I’ve disliked quite a few. Found some nitpicks. But hate? V...
While I am grateful to netGalley for the ARC of this book, I am sad to say that I did not enjoy this at all. I was really looking forward to reading this which makes it all the more disappointing. The cover is pretty and I'm always interested in a modern day retelling of a fairy tale but this was ...
Many thanks to netGalley and Egmont USA for the e-Galley of Tris & Izzie.Izzie, the daughter of two magical parents, leads a rather charmed life. The social queen bee of her high school and dating the most popular athlete in school, she’s never been bothered by her apparent lack of magical abilities...
Beautiful cover, you have misled me... again!!! The stars you see above are due mainly to the beautiful cover and sporadic moments of me actually laughing at what came out of Izzie's mouth. It's characters, none did I like. Izzie is self absorbed and totally unaware of everyone else around her. Her...
Know how your mom told you that "you can't judge a book by its cover"? That's exactly the way I feel about Tris and Izzie. You've seen the cover, right? It's beautiful. I just think that it would be even better if the cover had something to do with the contents of the book.Maybe that's just me.E...
