Review: bought the book for its cover
Rating: 3 out of 5

I have to admit I bought this book because I loved the cover- not because I thought it would be particularly good. The story is well written and well edited, but is not particularly original (for a variation). If you have read ad many P&P variations as I have, you will find this story a bit repetitive but still enjoyable. My major disappointment is in the characterization of Elizabeth- I found her to be whiny and lacking wit. In fact, her witty moments were direct Austen quotes, specifically quotes from parts of P&P that are skipped in this book. For writing and enjoyment, I give this book 4.5 stars, but its originality as a variation brings it to a solid 3 star read.
