Discuss Of Books Romeo's Ex: Rosaline's Story

I love Shakespeare re-tellings. I love it when a tale gets re-vamped and a second chance. "Romeo's Ex" was excellently written, with a lovely twist on Shakespearean verse turned into prose and appropriate use of actual Shakespeare quotes in the text. It isn't easy to write like Shakespeare, so mad props there.As for content, I love the idea of adding to Rosaline's story. She did seem to get something of a short straw in "Romeo and Juliet." She's mentioned a few times, never actually appears in

First impressions: The author is trying to do some interesting things with language and modernizing the adaptation. However, the historical fact info-dump, the over-the-top modern representation of Rosaline, and some wild plot events all detract from the novel. Full review to come.

Wow! I expected so much more out of this one! While I still do think that the cover art is absolutely gorgeous, the text inside is rather pitiable. While I respect the attempt, using quasi-Shakespearian language half the time mixed in with more modern sounding dialogue was a lost cause. It came off as ridiculously funny, which I rather fancy was unintended ("'Tis not thou...'tis I" (pg. 20) -- laughable, yes?). Too, in my opinion, one should either stick closely to Shakespeare's story or be very

Okay, so at the library last night I picked up two loosely-based-on-Shakespeare YA novels. I have a weakness, both for Shakespeare and for YA fiction, so it was fairly inevitable. I havent yet begun Ophelia, but Romeos Ex: Rosalines Story I began and finished last night.My first impressions were moderate- the authors use of quasi-Elizabethan language seems more of a forced affectation than an effective way to tell a story. Its understandably simplified for the sake of modern readers (I dont

The book Romeos Ex: Rosaline's Story by Lisa Fiedler was quite a good book. In this book you had more than one perspective to look forward to, there was Rosaline, Benvolio, Tybalt, Mercutio, and Romeo, all these perspectives are so different and they show what each character is feeling. In about 60 pages into the book (SMALL SPOILER ALERT) it shows the fight of the Capulets and the Montagues and tells of what Rosaline did, saving a boy's life in the brawl, Benvolio saves her and Mercutio takes

I COMPLETELY loved this book! I loved Rosaline' s perspective; it was such a fine twist on Shakespear' s classics Romeo and Juliet
