review 1: People tend to feel strongly about this book, but I didn't really. I enjoyed the story. I thought it was fun and light. I'd probably recommend it. I thought that the incorporation of political and economic history of the time was well done and a nice counterpoint to P&P, which ignores it.I did not like the various elements that seemed to placed into the plot only to make the book longer. Nor did I like the characters who seemed to be little more than devices later employed to move the plot along. It's not a perfect book, but I don't feel like I wasted my time.
review 2: As a lover of Downton Abbey and Pride & Prejudice, I really enjoyed this book. I can, however, see how people who have not read Pride & Prejudice might find this book a little slow at times. Kno... morewing what was coming next for 'upstairs' helped drive me through lulls in the 'downstairs' story. I also really enjoyed that, for a second, I didn't think the ending was going to work out the way that I had planned. I kept me on my toes to the last page. less
