Summary: This book was awful
Comment: This book was absolutely awful! There were way too many undeveloped characters. Both the newly introduced characters and the characters from Pride and Prejudice have no personality whatsoever. There isn't a single plot worth reading until the end, and everything is so predictable. The sentences are extremely awkward, including Mr. Darcy telling Lizzy, "I was fearful of losing the light of my life..." and Lizzy telling Mr. Darcy, "...you are my tower of strength." Way too sappy, and and there was no purpose to include all this sickening nostalgia. i almost didn't finish it, this book was simply terrible. don't read it!!

Summary: wonderful sequel to Pride and Prejudice
Comment: This sequel is by far the best I have read. I am a Pride and Prejudice fan and enjoy the lives of Lizzy and Darcy. This book continues with their life and the life of his devoted sister. It stays true to the characters as no other. I suggest any fan of Pride and Prejudice read this novel. I am sure you will not be disappointed.

Summary: Very disappointing
Comment: While the authors have made created an fairly interesting plot, following well the epilouge at the end of Pride and Prejudice (as they point out, excessively thoroughly, in their Historical Notes), and they have researched the period that the book takes place marvelously (also documented in their Historical Notes), they lack the playful writing that makes Pride and Prejudice so fun to read. The dialogue in this book makes the characters seem more like androids than the people we know and love from the world Jane Austen has created. The drama seems forced, and lacks humor that is necessary to make the somewhat predictable plot flow ahead.
Also, not in keeping with Jane Austen's text, too much emphasis is placed on religion. The preponderance of religious conversations, and the emphasis on the beliefs of the characters, is not in keeping with the original story's disregard for the more weighty matters in the world.
All in all, I was very disappointed in this book. It was a chore to read to the end, and I was not at all satisfied with it.
