Title: I was Duped!
Product review: Ok, so I'm a little slow at times...or I am just far too trusting! Either way, I was badly let down by this book. Standing in the book store, holding in my hands what I thought was a historical gem and a literary revelation, I read the claims by the authors that this was the "real" thing. Hooray!I rushed home to read it, and no more than 30 seconds later, I realized that this was obviously a parody. I felt duped. Because it is a parody? No. I have a sense of humor (although I *really* wanted it to be real) But, as someone else has already mentioned, never in 200+ years could a true fan stretch the imagination far enough to believe that this was written by Jane Austen. It was 21st century grammer and *yes*, punctuation, staring me in the face. Oh well, I can always turn it in to my local library for a freebie swap.The bottom line: If you are not into accuracy, buy it. If you are truly a fan of Ms. Austens, reread the real thing and use your erotic imagination instead.
