review 1: I thought this book was okay, but only wanted to give it one star. The beginning was jolly good, and all the narrative that followed Pride and Prejudice was fun, and I had no real problem with it; BUT once the original story was coming to a close, the author continues on in more detail and I feel she loses the thread along the way, and started to make her own story; Thats not a bad thing per se, but it's not what I wanted in a Pride and prejudice retelling. Towards the end I felt as though Elizabeth became an American (speech and behavior [English people arent overly affection in these modern days, there is no freakin way back then), and the whole story jumped a few decades, possibly even a century. (I am no history buff, and I have a poor imagination, so maybe that is whe... morere the fault lies, but because of that I really dont like this book)To me, she turned Elizabeth into a namby pamby business woman who absolutely lost her Elizabeth spark.Something fun that I experienced while reading this was the melding of every single version of Pride and Prejudice that I have ever watched, it was odd. This book added to the book version of that, all the Darcy accounts.I read the preface by the Author, I wish it had been at the back, I might have been a bit less critical. (I didnt want that information before the story, I might have appreciated it after though.)Hmm maybe I will read some more of her things, but I certainly won't be reading any more along these lines.
review 2: Of course nobody can write Pride and Prejudice better than the author, but I felt like this book helped me calm down the obsession. Of course it's a more modern version, but to me it didn't matter. It's a sweet dream about what happens once they marry and what does Darcy feel. However, I did feel like sometimes the ideas were a bit repetitive. In the end, it's no masterwork, but it was not as bad as some other fictions I have read about the book. less
