Adventures with Jane Austen and her Legacy

review 1: (2 1/2 Stars).Good tings about this book: Interesting historical information about Jane Austen's life. Some fictional information which the author clarifies in the afterword; a few interesting characters (well, I liked Adam). Negatives about this book: Stupid main character that makes frustrating choices and non-choices; Not enough romance. This was a book about Jane Austen--I needed more romance, that's why I picked it up; I think the author wanted to have the "unique" ending, and thus I didn't like the ending.Overall, I probably wouldn't recommend this, which is sad because I really wanted to like it.Note: I just noticed that this book is the first in a series, which may leave hope for the ending...I just don't think I can endure Emma for two more b... moreooks.
review 2: With such a provacative title, I couldn't resist. Because she has ruined my romantic sensibilities or at least my husband tells me so. This book is about an English professor who has recently divorced her husband after finding him on the kitchen table with her teaching asst. Circumstances lead her to merry old England where she is led through Jane Austen's world on a series of tasks to discover the keys to a plethora of "missing" Austen letters. What these letters say and and how they turn Emma's life around, is only part of the adventure... because you know, any Austen loving author worth her salt can't write a novel without throwing in a dashing hero, a rogue and a rake. I only wish this story were true -- then I could have some personal closure.Patillo is a gifted writer. I was unsure where the facts and the fantasy began. After the resurgence of interest in all things Jane Austen, this book was a terrific and refreshing adventure.On as side note: If this story had the clear, happy ending that Jane Austen has so thoroughly taught me to expect -- then I could have easily merited this work with a deserving 5 stars. But since it ends, well, a little too up to chance, I regret, 4stars is going to have to do. Sorry. less
