Title: Ingenious and Fun
Product review: It's hard to imagine a finer modernization of JA's P&P than this, with the exception of some under-developed plot lines, and a few poor choices of crude or vulgar language. The weaker plot lines are minor, such as the parallel to Lydia's being ruined, which I won't go into so I don't spoil the book for anyone. However, if you're familiar with Austen's novel, you will recognize what's coming in this one, but it's still a lot of fun. (You don't get the same degree or sense of social scandal to the family, as with Lydia and the Bennets, but perhaps that's why this book is more light-hearted and easy reading.) The bad language (occasional) also "jarred" with the atmosphere of what the author was trying to do, I think., and made it somewhat less enjoyable, but there isn't a great deal of it, thankfully. I opened it just to get a sense of the tone, and I ended up having to finish it. Dinner was late for the family! I'll probably want to read this one again sometime, too.
