Title: Beware nit-picks!
Review: I really cannot comment as to the plot Darcy's Story since it reproduces P&P; so exactly (in fact, a majority of the language is lifted directly from Austen's novel.) I will say that Alymer seems to go to no pains to complicate the original plot or introduce any great twists, surprises, or revelations. The narrative is plodding and somewhat repetitive, and neither particularly pleasant nor unpleasant to read. Its greatest virtue may be its brevity--it is readable in a single sitting.My major objection to this book is the shoddy copyediting. Elizabeth is alternately referred to as Miss Elizabeth and Miss Bennet (in her elder sister's presence,) and other characters are sometimes referred to by the wrong name/title. There are punctuation errors every few pages, which sometimes results in confused dialogue. Italics are used inconsistently. If you are a reader who is bothered or distracted by these types of sloppy errors, be forewarned.
