As our story opens, the Dashwood sisters are evicted from their childhood home and sent to live on a mysterious island full of savage creatures and dark secrets. While sensible Elinor falls in love with Edward Ferrars, her romantic sister Marianne is courted by both the handsome Willoughby and the hideous man-monster Colonel Brandon. Can the Dashwood sisters triumph over meddlesome matriarchs and unscrupulous rogues to find true love? Or will they fall prey to the tentacles that are forever snapping at their heels? This masterful portrait of Regency England blends Jane Austen’s biting social commentary with ultraviolent depictions of sea monsters biting. It’s survival of the fittest—and only the swiftest swimmers will find true love!]]> 735413 3.23 408 179 1265 4.11 416946 28059 2009 2 0 false Wed Sep 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 14 11:52:13 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 29 06:24:17 -0700 2009 Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters has its amusing moments, but, unfortunately, its inconsistencies eclipse its wicked sense of humor.
