I've always wanted to be a Special Education teacher, and when I read this book, I got a different perspective on Special Needs children. I knew that they were always happy, no matter what; but I never realized that they are even happy when people are mean to them. They don't quite understand the meaning of being "mean". They are not "retarded", as some people call them, they are only slower than the rest of us. I never realized that members of the church could have that kind of an attitude towards them. They are God's children that were sent here to go through this trial; but God did not intend for them to go through it alone. He placed His special sons and daughters in a disabled body so that they could go live with Him again, no questions asked; with Him knowing that they would not have Satan trying to turn them away from Him and having people there helping them through this mortal experience. Only the most righteous sons and daughters of God could have been able to commit themselves to this trial for their Heavenly Father. Those are the true Latter Day Saints.

I read this book when I was 11 and a half, and didn't think much of it...but it stayed in my head and I thought about it a lot, then about a year later I realised how beautiful it was and it made me cry. It's a very personal work, the author wrote this in response to the sudden death of her 8-year-old son's best friend. I hope the adaptation does it justice.

I must have thought this was a memoir, because if I'd known it was a 244 page stream of consciousness musing about death, of course I never would've picked it up. There are parts worth reading; Barnes' descriptions of his parents' domestic infelicities are very good, and there's one passage about the family gathered around the enormous TV (the size of a "dwarf's armoire") watching a Gielgud interview as Mother Barnes files her nails that, if I were planning to write a memoir, I'd go back and study. But everything else is repetitive, empty, meandering flotsam. Really, are there that many people obsessed with death? Aside from the elderly and the already-ill? Is there anything new that can be mused on the subject? Can we just declare a moratorium on this type of book?

While reading this can get very repetitive, it is wonderful for making animal noises, identifying colors and farm animals, and a good one for an early read-along. Julie Vivas is an excellent artist and her pictures have lots to look at. I am particularly fond of the duck on the "six yellow puppies" page that is clearly body slamming one poor terrified puppy. If it weren't for the antics of the kamikaze duck, the many, many readings of this book might have driven me crazy ages ago.

Since I am running on zero hours of sleep as I write this review (woo hoo all nighter!!), I'll leave the "intelligent" blabbering for another day. It's bullet point time. **PLEASE NOTE: There are some spoilers mentioned in this review, but I have made it obvious where these points are so you can skim past and continue reading the non-spoilery segments** PROS 1) The cover and back cover blurb intrigued me enough to actually *want* to read this book without researching it in advance (read: checking any and all available reviews before requesting it). 2) I stayed up all night to finish reading JULIET IMMORTAL. There was a reason for me pulling an all-nighter--I found candy at about 1AM, got a super bad sugar rush, and the next thing I knew, I was 3/4 done with the book and it was 4:30AM. Awesome that time flew by, and it was even better that JI was a quick and relatively painless read. 3) The writing redeemed the weaknesses of the book. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for future works by Stacey Jay. CONS 1) The logic in this world is severely lacking. I won't reveal any spoilers, but Juliet's death raised a red flag for me. Likewise, Juliet's ability to see auras (or not see them at certain times), could have been developed further. By the end, I was left feeling incredulous... Juliet is how old? Shouldn't she be a bit more experienced with seeing this kind of stuff by now? 2) There were a few cop-outs--particularly by the ending, which I was not entirely satisfied with. (view spoiler) 3) Too many "I love yous." If I had to read that line one more time... (view spoiler) 4) Romeo would have been more interesting had he been kept a villain. I wasn't entirely convinced of his transformation into a "redeeming" character. The ending was also... I suppose it set the scene for a second book in this series, and while Romeo was an intriguing character otherwise, I'm not buying his sudden swap. Despite the complaints, JULIET IMMORTAL was not a bad read; Juliet was a great character to follow, which I think was more important for me. Because I was able to connect with her, I breezed through the novel at a supersonic speed. I also loved how the author took Romeo & Juliet's story and made it her own. Some parts of the execution could have been better, but this YA was a lot more enjoyable compared to a lot of the other releases out in the market right now. I'd recommend this book to most fans of the YA genre. JULIET IMMORTAL is a fun twist on the Romeo & Juliet story that I think a lot of readers will enjoy. As for those who are a bit more... critical of YAs as of late, if you can overlook the cons I listed, you may enjoy this; otherwise, I would suggest borrowing a copy from a friend or from the library if you want to read it that badly.

So, here's the deal. While I was reading the book, my first thoughts were generally, "Alright, alright... this is pretty interesting... cool, okay.." But, somewhere before reaching the midpoint, I started wondering why I was still reading. I didn't quite get where it was all going, it was just a pack of kids smoking and drinking together while simultaneously going to school. Who cares? I stuck through and it got better and better. The story isn't complicated, but it is thought provoking. A lot of what is written is very, very beautiful and gets the reader thinking, as well as developing other perspectives. There are messages and lessons to take out from reading this novel. I definitely recommend it. It's the first John Green book I've ever read, but it certainly will not be the last.

Someone bought this book for me as part of a care package. Maybe I'm pre-disposed not to like it: I hate carrying around a huge tome. It was supposed to be a trilogy, but when it was published post-humously, they decided to go with the author's wishes and publish it as one book. That said, it's an extremely difficult to read book with some beautiful elements...but I keep putting it down because I don't want to work that hard. This, coming from someone who enjoyed Ulysses and did an undergrad thesis on Kathy Acker's work...well...you get the point.

Lame main character, and a dreadfully slow plot. The few interesting parts of the book, as well as the creative setting and premise made it bearable for me to get to the ending.

non-fiction? fiction? something in between? despite the unveiling of this 'field study' as a complete fabrication (which, i must admit is what initially drew me to the book), 'the teachings' are still quite compelling reading, and certainly a testament to the power of the imagination. this article is also quite interesting, for anyone who wants to read up further on the controversy surrounding Castaneda [http://www.salon.com/books/feature/20...]

The author writes a compellling story that makes one reflect on human nature, the American culture and the rarely talked about bits of Native American history. Challenging. A good read!
