review 1: Checked out this book online when I was browsing. Not the best but not the worst, either. This is a collection of short stories by various authors about the characters in Pride and Prejudice--some quite entertaining and some jarring (Wickham as a completely duped good guy who ends up marrying Georgina? Heavens) or another amusing story where it turns out Wickham is the illegitimate son of Lady Catherine deBourgh's husband which was amusing. Amusing, but only for die hard Austen fans.
review 2: JAFF fiction does not set well with me. I realize I am in the minority in this matter, but I like my Austen characters to do "normal" Regency era things. That is not always true in this book. Ms. Altman, who is the editor of the anthology, is known for her more bizarre... more version of Austen's tales. I did enjoy Jeffers's "The Pemberley Ball," although at first I thought even she had crossed over to the dark side. less
