Pride and Prejudice Continues

review 1: I liked this story well enough. There are parts when the author has streaks of brilliance in her writing but then falls short by writing scenarios that are too far-fetched, contrived to be believable, ie. Lizzy riding horseback (alone) all the way from Scotland to London to courier important evidence to Darcy and Bingley. She personalizes her characters very well and gives them likeable converstaion. The backstory of Darcy and Bingley's initial meeting is highly amusing as well. It is a sweet story by all means and I am happy to have this unique spin on The Darcy's and The Bingley's in my collection.
review 2: I'm not much of an "Austen spin-off" lover, but this series is my favorite.The Darcys and The Bingleys is probably not for people who can't stand to see ... moretheir classic favorites warped a bit; and, the beginning premise (Darcy gets Bingley a copy of The Kama Sutra when Bingley expresses concern about his wedding night) was very, very weak, but the latter half is fantastic. I could hear the characters in my head - and they sounded like the actors from the A & E version of Pride & Prejudice (my favorite) starring Colin Firth.There are so many fun scenes that the weak premise in that first half really didn't bother me. It's 2013 as I'm updating my thoughts from an email written in 2008 (seriously . . . cleaning my inbox) and I still remember scenes from the book and how much I enjoyed it. less
