Romiette and Julio Audiobook

" The classic story retold, but updated to today. Romiette is an African-American girl from Cincinnati, OH. Julio is a transfer student from Corpus Christi, TX. They meet in a chat room and are instantly drawn to each other. But not everyone likes the idea of these two being a couple. Spoiler: This book has a happier ending than the original. "

" I thought this book was very corny. It was such a bad spin off of the classic. The characters were flat and so cheesy. The plot was very predictable and the names are so ridiculous. Even though I did not like to read it, I could see some young adults enjoying the book. I think girls would like this book. I think the idea of finding your soul mate and forbidden love would attract the females. "

" This book was good. I like it because it was intresting enough to keep me reading, and its something people deal with in the real world. Some things i didn't like was that sometimes the author would repeat some things over and over. "

" I liked this book. It was interesting. "

" Oh, I loved this book so much. So sweet! I had to read it for Battle of the Books and I honestly didn't think I would like it, but I ended up loving it! In the book Julio is so sweet, the perfect boyfriend. I hope you all decide to read it. Happy Reading! :) "

" it seems interesting "

" So similar yet different than the classic tale!!!!!!!!! Love it!!!!!!! "

" I loved this book it was like a modern day version of romeo and juliette with a few diffrences.... "

" it was good i finished in a hr. "

" this two lovers went through alot because of the gang bangers.they dont want them both to have peace because they are differen.they really go through alot of pain,sorrow and drama:)if you love reading l.o.v.e story you have to read. "

" omg i love this book cause once you start reading it you get sucked up into it and man do i love it cause there is so many romance in it i think other people should read !!! "

" Amazing book!! One of my favorites!!! "

" Awwesome book!! Love it! "

" I am in love with this book. I keep dogearing pages to use for a parallel reading with my freshman. I recommend this book wholeheartedly. It adds a new element to a tale we all know. It updates the story with an interesting spin on events. Seriously, I'm not able to put it down. "

" once again- 7th grade English teacher. I can't believe I read this all the way through, and while it's cute for little kids, I'm not looking forward to reading it over and over again as I teach it. It is, however, a unique spin on Romeo and Juliette, and a weird transformation into another genre. "

" I loved the concept of turning a classic shakesphere play into a modern tale. I like how sharon uses interrcial couples and reallt sheds light on the subject of gangs and how they effect everyone. "

" this book is about two people named Romiette and Julio who meet at school when Julio transfers. They then share similar opinions about how they feel towards gangs. When the two finally go out they face many problems with gangs. "

" Modern day Romeo and Juliet story. I like Draper's style of writing. "

" Like Romeo and Juliet but guess what, none or them die! o, also Romiette (Romeo) is a girl and Julio (Juliet) is the guy! I like. =) "

" I read this when I was in middle school and I still remember how good it was. A modern twist to Romeo and Juliet. "

" This book taught me that you have to be a very talented writer to use an omniscient narrator. Sharon M. Draper is not that talented. Also, I think she stopped reading Romeo and Juliet after the second act. "

" A great choice for parallel reading or for students who love Romeo and Juliet. "

" i love his book "

" well I only read up to like page 79 so I really dont know what its all about. Its mostly about how a girl and a guy met a this high school and end up going out <br/> <br/>This book was really not my book I disliked. I disliked, it wasnt as interesting as I thought it would be. "

" I thought it was a good book!!!! I really enjoyed reading it "

" Tries to put Romeo and Juliette into a modern, urban, setting. I read it when I was a teeny bopper...It can be really appealing to yound adolescents but not now in my twenties. "

" I was in love with this book and I finished it in 3days. It's a awesome read "

" i really liked this book. the suspense and the keeping the relationship a secret from there parents because of there race. i just love it. "

" This book was awesome!! I felt like I was actually in the book but as a spy that no one can see. Its a book of romance and drama between a gang, Romiette, and Julio. If you haven't read this book before, you should because its a terrific book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (im saying this in my boring voice) "

" This book was OK i guess. <br/>But I expected so much more from it, <br/>and it turned out to be, not so satisfying. "

" I liked this book quiet allot. It's the longest book I've ever read. It's pretty cool and get's really interesting in the climax well it always does but yeah. "
