I wish I could say I loved this one. I wish that it had delivered on what it promised. Sadly, no on both counts. I just didn't like it. I think it might be the whole man-writing-a-female thing that bothers me sometimes, because I just didn't think that Miranda ever really connected. With anything. I...
I was kind of hesitant in reading this book because of the last book I read about Romeo and Juliet. They were trying to kill each other which was a little disturbing, unque but disturbing. I actually had to put that book down. It was a bit dragging so I had to pause on that book.Miranda auditioned f...
Okay, so I'd heard some less than stellar things about this book before I started it. And it ended up surprising me, because I really liked it. Well, the first part that is. About 50 pages before the end I went WTF??? I mean, the story was funny and cute and I liked Edmund, even though he was basica...
The Juliet Spell was an enjoyable book, it starts of with Miranda, who is sixteen auditioning for the role of Juliet in a school play, it is a role she really wants and isn't sure she is going to get.For her the play makes her dream of mending her family back together, reliving and doing something h...
Getting the part of Juliet in the upcoming school play is everything to Miranda. It’s a way to honor her mother and her acting days, and maybe even a lure for her absent dad. But something goes wrong when she casts the fame spell, and suddenly she has Shakespeare’s brother Edmund in her living room!...
The Juliet Spell was an entertaining, light piece of fluff reading. The general premise of the story – girl desperately wants to be Juliet in her school’s production of Romeo & Juliet so she casts a spell to make it happen and hilarity ensues when Will Shakespeare’s brother travels through time and ...
Posted on Book Chelle.3.5 but rounded up.There are many stories that I have read through out the years, and only a few are memorable. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is one of them. So imagine my surprise and enthusiasm when I saw Douglas Rees' The Juliet Spell. A contemporary Shakespearean tale tha...
I couldn't finish this one. It was too silly and ridiculous. I attempted it over the span over several days and every time I would get in a few pages deeper, I had to put my Kindle down before I did something violent. This just wasn't for me.
More of my reviews at The Cozy Reading CornerI love this book. The Juliet Spell has somehow changed me just a tiny bit. I will never look at William Shakespeare's work the same way again and I will always remember the brother that is not very well known- Edmund Shakespeare. The characters in this bo...
2.75/5Not a retelling (thank gosh!) Cute? Right now though two things are clear: it was sometimes improbable but mostly sweet.That it involved magic spells was not what rang unlikely to me. That it involved a time travelling English man boy was not a big deal either. I came into Juliet Spell knowing...
