I think I've spotted a flaw in this cunning plan:<p><i>"For never was a story of more woe<p>Than this of Juliet and her Sam."</i><p>Doesn't really work.<p>Wait, clearly I've chosen the wrong name. I can fix this!<p><i>"For never was a story of more woe<p>Than this of Juliet and her Frododo."</i><p>Perfect!
So basically is an adult, public-domain version of those books you can get for children, where they insert their name in the story. e.g. <a href="http://www.simplypersonalized.com/product/personalized-spiderman-book/" rel="nofollow">http://www.simplypersonalized.com/product/personalized-spide...</a>
> <i>Imagine you and your sweetheart starring in the greatest love stories of all time: personalize Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet</i><p>It's not a great love story, it's a cautionary tale of how reckless teenagers who are too quick to jump to conclusions.
This looks stunning.<p>Not that it really matters, but without sanitation of the name input fields I was able to put in some html to really make the rendered text quite wonky.<p>Stunning project!
This is a great idea, absolutely love it!
It's a great gift for couples who like to read thought I would not just personalize any classic and read it that way. As an avid reader, this is something that I really want in my collection of books.<p>I'm sure I'll make my wife happy with this personalized Romeo and Julliet as well. Though I think I might be more excited for it than her :D
I take it the spiel on that page wasn't written by a native speaker? The flow seems very strange. Don't get me wrong, it's excellent English on the whole, just a bit weird.<p>In part it reads like the page was written to sell a publishing platform and then modified to sell search-and-replaced names in books.<p>Personally I can't see a market for it at all; yet there seems to be several gushing positive comments here (maybe a bit too positive, it looks suspicious, but perhaps I'm just not the target).<p>Has anyone really ever thought "oh I wish my name was in P&P instead of Mr Darcy"?<p>Mind you I find the children's version of this saccharin too; bowdlerising a classic just seems to make it even worse.
Am I the only one here who finds this to be a ridiculous idea? The joy of reading doesn't exactly come from seeing your own name replacing Jane Eyre's.
