review:
Hmmmm...Its such a good idea. One of those stars in my rating is for the novel idea alone, to tell the myth from a female point of view. But it could have been done so much better. The characters simply didn't engage me at all. I finished the book probably only because it was so short.

review:
Maybe I should be embarrassed to give this book three stars when it is admittedly, well, trashy. But you couldn't go into this one expecting much depth, based on the cover, or any knowledge of the plot whatsoever. It was entertaining enough, a quick read, a beach read...and not much more. Sure, the main character was a flawed person but not detestable to the point where I didn't want to see what happened to her.

The best part of this book was the catchy title. Its not an unenjoyable book...I suppose the fantasy-ish elements are just not something I tend to prefer, so it was my own fault that I wasn't too absorbed in the plot. What most strikes me about this book is that though I read it in the last few months, I cannot remember how it ends; I guess it was pretty unmemorable.
