Negative Positive
Title: Written for commmercial purposes?
Review: Having read all the previous books of the Mitford series, I was eagerly anticipating the arrival of the latest installment. When I learned it was to be a prequel telling the story of the wedding, I became a bit concerned. After reading The Wedding Story, I must say that I consider my concern justified. I found the book boring, disappointing, and frustrating. There was no new information, no mystery, no conflict. It was obviously written quickly and did not require much creativity. I can only conclude that Ms. Karon wrote it to capitalize on the previous success of the series -- this is, to make money and to appease fans who were tired of waiting for the next installment. I, for one, am far from appeased. This book did nothing to further the Mitford series or, in my opinion, Ms. Karon's reputation.
