Review: More Resentment Than Reason
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 01 31, 2014
I just reread this book as I have more or less exhausted the current titles on the market that interest me.  I decided to do so when I scrolled through my library and did not remember it from the title.  Shortly after I started it, I did, but did not remember if I enjoyed it and kept reading.  I enjoyed the early chapters, but finally began to realize that the conversations seemed stilted and pedantic in a way I could not reconcile with the writings of Miss Austen, and the characters seemed to deteriorate into being unrecognizable and unsympathetic.Lately, I have begun to read the reviews, and if I have read them and my initial note, I would not have read this book again.  I failed to do so this time and discovered that while I would have ordered it with a 3-star rating, which I cannot see that it deserved, but, my own note was that it was "tedious, stilted, unnatural dialogue, and insipid plot!"  I still feel that way.
