The storyline is great! Nice plot. I really liked thebeggining because it was adventurous and thrilling. Eventually, I found myself skimming and slipping out of my "book world." Once it got closer to the end, I felt like I was starting to regrip the book, but alas, I was already lost.

A pretty good book. I think that the British terms were kind of annoying (no offence).

what do I think? there is no word to descibe it...read it urself, then u'll see what I mean, hopefully.

A very strange little novel that is neither fish nor fowl. Problems include the passive protagonist and the odd speech patterns that attempt to be historically accurate but feel as if the writer is trying too hard (at last count there are thirty-seven times in this book that Flissy says "ever so"). Dig deep enough down into The Romeo and Juliet Code and I think you could find characters and ideas worth exploring. It’s a pity all of that is buried beneath a style that hurts rather than helps. The book will find its audience, there is little doubt. Enjoying it, however, will have to be taken on a case-by-case basis.

Cute read.
