Juliet.... How I Love Thee

(Angela)

This Was By Far The Best Book That I Have Read In A Very Long Time.  It Had Me Interested From The Very Beginning.  The Plot Was Such That It Kept Me Guessing And Wanting To Read To See How It All Was Going To Play Out.  I Could Not Have Guessed Any Of The Events That Actually Happened.  It Was Very Refreshing To Read And Hear Myself Gasp "Oh My God!" At Several Different Parts Of The Book.

The Writing Of The Book Was Brilliant, And I Love The Fact That Though The Book Is Fiction, It Is Strongly Based In Historical Fact.

The Characters Are Well Developed, And I Found That Every Single Character Had Their Endearing Moments And Their Pig-Headed Moments.

What I Loved Most About The Story Was That Their Was A Double Re-Telling Of The Story Of Romeo And Juliet, One In Modern Day Siena (Through Julie And Alessandro, And One In 14Th Century Sienna (Romeo And Gulietta). I Found Both Stories Fascinating, And Actually Had A Hard Time Deciding Which Story Line I Liked The Most. They Both Grip Your Heart And Leave You Very Much Emotionally Involved.

I Would Recommend This Book To Anyone... Even To The Shakespeare Buffs! It Will Give You A Whole New Perspective On Romeo And Juliet.

I Would Have Picked This Up And Reread It Right Away If I Didn't Have Major Packing To Do.
