Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This book should be taken out an SHOT. It is so BAD it is unintentionally funny. Very funny. My favorite sentences so far: "Propitious fortune allowed her to descry whom the crepuscular light yielded." "Lack of conversation of which he did nothing to mitigate." "Whilst still partaking their meal, Darcy apologised upon its austere winter dressing of his county unnecessarily." Believe me, folks, the whole thing reads like this. I am NOT making this up. I intend to write an update when I finish the book (I am researching sequels to Austen), but at page 40 I'm drowning in in a sea of "betwixt" and "howbeit." Many of the sentences are downright be-cramped with broken sentence structure and overwrought language. All things are besoiled, bedewed, begrimed, bechanced. Nothing is ever dewed or grimed or soiled. No one ever sits between two people, it is "indubitably" betwixt. The characters do not exit, only egress. Even if you can ignore the horrible writing, you will be affronted by the sub-par romantic/erotic plotting and descriptions (womanly portal and nether garments, indeed!). If it's a good sequel you're looking for, I'd advise "Letters from Pemberly" by Jane Dawkins. If you're looking for a good romance novel, check out "Ransom" by Julie Garwood. Perhaps this author never actually read Austen. Perchance she only beviewed it upon the electronic movie-viewing apparatus. Howbeit, perchance some be-revising will aid this ailing monstrosity. After all, Austen fully revised her first draft, one can only hope Linda Berdoll will do the same. I will continue to read in hopes that the story will overcome the overwritten and overwrought language of the author, though it is doubtful I can take much more of this.
