Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Why didn't someone stop this woman? The book is just not written in the style of Austen at all. The language isn't right, in a painful way. There are long passages quoted from Austen, only to be quoted over and over (and over). And the book is pretty short for having quoted Austen so much - that might give you a hint that there isn't much going on. Part of what I love about Austen's work is the twists and turns and how everything is woven together so nicely. Don't expect anything like that here. The scenarios are contrived and presented in a ridiculous way. Darcy explaining in a conversation with Fitzwilliam the relationship between Darcy's father and Wickham - hello! Fitzwilliam is Darcy's cousin - close enough to be Georgianna's co-guardian! I think he knows the story! This is just one example. And the letters that are received - two sentences of fluff. And don't get me started about how repetitive this book is. OK, I've got it: Darcy isn't good with words, he doesn't have Bingley's easy way with people. Stop telling me that, I got it the first time. (Forget the part where later she writes, for once in his life, he was at a loss for words.) Why? Why? Why? Oh it's painful to recall. Don't read this book, it can come to no good!
