Title: Jane Turns in Her Grave
Product review: I'm all for using the imagination to expand on what might have happened to Jane Austen's characters after her novels ended, but please, this one takes it beyond the limits. Can't Jane Austen's characters be copyrighted so that this can't happen again? Jane Austen's books are enjoyable because the characters are so well written and they have such class, something missing in the modern world. The author has turned them into characters from a "bodice-buster" novel. Darcy is now an 18th century Fabio and Elizabeth lusts like she is in a novel entitled, "Love's Savage Destiny." The author also substitutes good writing with outrageous plot twists like Elizabeth being kidnapped by a disgruntled footman, and Georgiana going off to the Napolianic wars to be a nurse! Thumbs down for me!
