Tris and Izzie is a remake of the classic tale Tristan and Isolde and based on that and the stunning cover which I absolutely fell in love with I was eager to get my hands on this book. Unfortunately, that’s pretty much where the enthusiasm ends. As much I tried to get into reading this book I absolutely failed. I found it hard to connect with the main characters, particularly Izzie who seemed to think she was chocolate and the plot just seemed completely random. To cut a long story short, Izzie is a witch who lives with her mother. She is in love with the very popular Mark and together they attend high school with Izzie’s best friend, Brangane, the three of them being a really close knit trio. Izzie is desperate for Brangane to have a boyfriend so she takes a love potion that her mother has created to school aiming to get Brangane and Tristan (new boy at school) to drink it thereby falling in love. Things go wrong of course and Izzie and Tris end up drinking it and falling in love. High jinks and emotional struggles ensue for a while and then out of the blue (or at least it seemed that way to me) a two-headed dog appeared...That I’m afraid to say is where I put the book down. I think I was about a quarter of the way through so I have no idea what happened at the end. No risk of spoilers here then!! I think my biggest issue with this book is the writing style. When I’m reading I like the words to flow off the page or have some kind of punch to them. This had neither. I felt the language used was overly simplistic, almost child-like and I found myself getting more and more frustrated as I turned the pages. The way that the concept of magic is included in the book seems really rushed and lacks credibility as does everyone’s acceptance of the weird creature that just seemed to show up. IT WAS A TWO-HEADED RABID DOG?! Rant over! As I said the idea behind this story is great and there are other classics which have been re-told that I have enjoyed. I’m sorry to say that this is not among them which is a shame because it had great potential. Original review can be found at: http://themidnightreaders.blogspot.co...

** spoiler alert ** Holden's struggle to understand mortality and morality may be a great work in Literature but I have to say by end of the first chapter he had me bummed out with his constant "It made me depressed....I was getting depressed." I also had a hard time with all the heavy smoking and drinking for a 16yr old prep kid. Not to mention inviting a call-girl to his room. Not a light read, but definitely insightful.

One of the best debut novels of the last ten years. Frasier gives us the American Odyssey alongside a compelling philosophic agenda. Heavy symbolism, think "The Scarlett Letter" meets Hemingway's incomplete "The Garden of Eden."

A classic book that can be applied to any time period. A short and meaningful read.

I thought this novel was only about a Paraguayan dictator's courtship of Ella, and Ella's eventual move to Paraguay from France. Because the most romantic notion in the world to me is living abroad again, especially with a dashing future husband, I was really excited to read this book. My dream plot ended after 50 pages. After that the novel launches into a boring description of Paraguayan expansion. I couldn't finish reading.

2 1/2 stars, if I may. It really dragged toward the end, and while post-apocalyptic Christian messages are FUN, they just don't always pack the punch. The biggest turn-off was the style in which this was written, with jumbo paragraphs of run-on sentences. Made it impossible to pick up where I left off.
Just starting.
