review 1: It was a fun little read. Some of the writing seemed a bit choppy and I believe that is because many of the main events in Pride and Prejudice were in the book but they were out of order. It is not my favorite variation of PP. I think that is because we didn't see Darcy falling for Elizabeth because the book jumps to right after Bingley leaves for Netherfield. He is already in love with her when you start reading. So his ardent love seems a bit strange but some of the new storylines had fun little scenes to see elizabeth and Darcy together in completely different situations from PP.
review 2: I found this an interesting read as it changed every scene that could have unfolded in P&P following the Netherfield Ball but still kept to some of the same locations - ex... moreample.. the visit to Kent still occurs but by then its clear that Elizabeth is not opposed to Darcy... Elizabeth learns the true about Wickham but not from a letter... Darcy initial proposal is refused but offered for different reasons.. And at the start instead of Jane going to London to stay with her aunt and uncle, Elizabeth goes. I couldn't see forsee Jane shutting out her sisters like she did so I quickly got over it and read on. After an unsuccessful attempt to see Charles personally, Elizabeth heads to Darcy's townhome in London to beg him to talk to Charles. He refuses to assist which didn't surprise me but what did surprise me is that he didn't think Jane had feelings for Charles even though Elizabeth was very direct that Jane loved him (why wouldn't he believe her when he does in P&P when Elizabeth tells him not so directly the same thing?). The next morning Elizabeth wakes up in Darcys home under the care of his sister as she suffered a fever the night before with no recollection of what really happened. However, tongues do wag so you are sure this will come later on in the book and so it does! Elizabeth returns to the Gardiners and accepts an invitation to stay with Lady Susan who will take her to balls and introduce her into a new circle in London to which Elizabeth agrees just for the sole purpose of running into Bingley. I didn't really think that Elizabeth would want to be around town as though she was on her debut but so the story goes. She ends up meeting Darcy again and again and accepts an invitation to spend a week in the same home as him where she is soon considered to be a rival to Lady Gwendolen for Darcy's affections. Fun P&P version! Note the word "fun" - if you take yourself too seriously when reading this book you may not like it thinking Darcy or Elizabeth would never do that - so sit back, relax and enjoy it! Don't think too deeply about it! I did find it diverting! less
