Title: Very unsatisfying
Review: I read this with my book club. As Austen lovers, we all had high hopes for the book, but they were dashed by the end of the first chapter....and it went downhill from there. The characters are dull and unsympathetic, the writing poor (one never does find out from whose perspective it's written-- it seems to change without notice), and we kept waiting for the Austen parallels which never materialized. Very disappointing book. If you're looking for a good read, choose The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon instead.
