Maybe it's just me but I kept thinking they gave little hints as to what was going to happen in that chapter.<br /><br />I can understand why someone would relate it to Romeo and Juliet, but I wouldn't call it a ripoff. The "wrong side of the tracks" trope is pretty standard. And maybe Marion meant it to be a sort of retelling, who knows. I didn't notice either. It doesn't bother me, though, because it was such a great book :)<br /><br />Thanks for commenting, Alice!Leah Rae Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15016306009472838900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3066621724249194131.post-43516376791934465082013-01-22T02:11:11.097-08:002013-01-22T02:11:11.097-08:00I ADORED Warm Bodies.

Did your copy have the illustrations from Gray's Anatomy? <br /><br />I read one negative review on Goodreads that didn't like it because it was too obviously a blatant Romeo and Juliet ripoff, and then pointed out a million references that I hadn't even noticed, lol.
