  <default_description>&lt;i&gt;Mr. Darcy's Diary&lt;/i&gt; presents the story of the unlikely courtship of Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy from Darcy's point of view -- sharing his innermost thoughts and feelings. This graceful imagining and sequel to &lt;i&gt;Pride and Prejudice&lt;/i&gt; explains Darcy's moodiness and the difficulties of his reluctant relationship as he struggles to avoid falling in love with Miss Bennett. Though seemingly stiff and stubborn at times, Darcy's words prove him also to be quite devoted and endearing -- qualities that eventually win over Miss Bennett's heart. This continuation of a classic romantic novel is charming and elegant, much like Darcy himself.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This is one of those books that it’s embarrassing to admit to reading. But actually, after I read it, I wasn’t nearly as embarrassed as when I picked it up. It was much better than I expected it to be (now, don’t go thinking it was a literary masterpiece here—it just wasn’t total drivel). ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69127955">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This wasn't the best of novels in any case but it was an enjoyable read nonetheless. I don't have any great complaints about the book because you can't expect too much by these 'adaptations' or 'tributes' to Austen or indeed any other classic author. Grange ran through the classic P&amp;P storyline with...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37850693">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[<br/>Mr Darcy's Diary by Amanda Grange follows the same Pride and Prejudice plot but through the eyes of our beloved moody Mr Darcy. The book is written in epistolary format (ie; as a diary, naturally) so some who aren't used to this may take a while to get used to. I haven't read many epistolary n...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68697623">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[As a big fan of Pride and Prejudice, I am extremely picky about any sequels and this one, I am sad to say, did not really make the cut of &quot;P&amp;P sequels: must read&quot;. Most of the time, Darcy sounds like a whiny teenage girl, which grates on the nerves after a while. And the main claim of the ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51341607">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The idea was good: writing <em>Pride &amp; Prejudice</em> from the point of view of Mr Darcy. It was the perfect way to find out more about the mysterious Darcy and how he saved the Bennets' reputation. The book is written in the form of a diary, which could have been an interesting - and different - way to re-t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50430688">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I finished reading this book in a few sittings. I was able to follow the plot easily, having previously read <em>Pride and Prejudice</em>. <em>Mr. Darcy's Diary</em> puts a creative twist on Jane Austen's most beloved novel by giving us a glimpse into Darcy's thoughts and feelings as he encounters and falls in love w...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44674586">more...</a>]]></body>
