Before starting this project, I had
my own little project- to read as many Pride and Prejudice variations as I could. These include novels that start the moment Jane
Austen’s novel ended, ones that are told from Mr. Darcy’s view point, and in
this case, ones that change a part of the original novel and go from there with
a different story. This was a Christmas present
from Daniel and helped me get through Little Women faster so I could get
started on this one.
I really enjoyed this novel, and
only got a little disappointed towards the end when I realized it was only a
Part 1 and Part 2 isn’t out yet, so I’ll have to wait to finish the story. In this novel, Lizzy doesn’t hear Mr. Darcy slight
her at the assembly dance. Instead they
get to know each other and Mr. Darcy quickly falls in love with Lizzy. While a few scenes were on the edge of
cheesiness- I still loved reading the book. As I told Daniel, the variations
that tend to show Mr. Darcy’s struggles with his feelings and pride are always
the best.
I’ll give this book an A 95%
Also a side note about my
grading. I’m not saying that this novel
is better than the classic Little Women, I’m just saying my enjoyment reading
the book was better. The grades I assign
are biased and completely dependent on my enjoyment.
