Review:
Well I have never actually read the original Romeo and Juliet, but I basically have a pretty good idea of what happens. This book is um...well....different? I guess would be the word. Certainly not like I expected, which isn't a good thing for the record. The ending was horrible. I literally just finished it a couple of minutes ago and reading it was like "Da wa?" It was interesting that of course you have to put the big guy Vlad Dracula (I'm sorry Prince Vladimir) in there. Really? I don't think that was very necessary. And what is with the dramatic location change? Transylvania? Come on how cliche! I think if there wasn't a lot of major screw ups and stayed a little bit more closer to the actual Romeo and Juliet then it could have been better. I do like that it was short though and didn't require me to use an insane amount of concentration on it. I like it when I can watch hockey and read a book at the same time folks, so that's why I didn't just give this a big fat 1 star.
I mean I know there are people who are into these mash up kind of books, so maybe you may like it. I may give another mash up a shot but hopefully the next one isn't a messed up as this one was.
