i really dont understand how your could say its overal not that very interesting…….i understand your points. But i guess it all matters on quickly you see things. And its very obvious that they made a connection not an OBSESSION.

Ok ..Yes You have some(very few) Interesting points. But this book is not meant to mimic romeo and juliet. It is based on a link to The Twilight Saga! Which I personally love . And I hav not read shiver….Although My best friend did and he really likes it…He also loves The Twilight Saga…I was looking to find good reviews because so far I had found all good reviews until now. Bu One thing weird is…..If you dont like dramatics..or love scenes….Like these and romeo and juliet then why read them? Thank you,

I liked the book. I thought the writing was really vivid so much that you felt that you were there.
Grace, I was not to crazy about. I didn’t like that her character was really logical, but she was better than Twilight’s Bella who in my opinion was flat out neurotic.
I could write pages and pages on Sam. I fell in love with Sam. The thing I like most about him was that he was not perfect, unlike Edward in Twilight. Also he had personality and sarcasm which I irresistable!
The progress of thier love was a bit fast for me, but once it happened I did not find it to be unrealistic at all. They just fell in love and that was really sweet!

I agree so much that I actually have to RANT about it.

You know, I wanted to love the book, but… well I couldn’t even finish it. I thought the side characters seemed interesting, but Sam had a tortured past – which is a HUGE turnoff – and Grace had no hobbies to speak of.

Also, she was in love with a wolf.

I thought the romance was extremely boring and completely irrational. There’s no possible way they could really love each other like that instantly – there were no given reasons other than that they found each other pretty. So, yeah, I just couldn’t love this book, and I actually like Twilight. (shrug)

Wow, I couldn’t read ANYTHING you said in this review EXCEPT the huge spoilers. Why did you make that the only visible part?

I have a question for anyone who would be kind enough to answer it.
In what month(day would also be helpful) did this book occur in?
Thanks!!
