Just not a Jane Austen fan, but willing to read her works.
Melanti
Considering this book as a romance, I feel cheated.

Considering this book as a social commentary on the purpose of marrying for love versus marrying for money versus compromising - it's a MUCH better book.


I really did not like the way that Austen just summarized about a year's worth of events for the last chapter.
