Seems so many people were looking for the Austen parallels and were either disappointed they weren't stronger or disappointed that they were too strong. Anyway, I thought it fun, interesting, and thought provoking for lovers of Austen. <br /><br />Loved your fun quote--it does seem to encapsulate what I liked about the book's tone.JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215175059156496817.post-7148089070098339632009-09-26T14:39:37.424-06:002009-09-26T14:39:37.424-06:00Good review.

I should perhaps read the book again one of these days!Laura's Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904763940307902364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215175059156496817.post-67602075652069643082009-09-26T11:38:33.415-06:002009-09-26T11:38:33.415-06:00Like Kals, I have heard so many mixed reviews on b...Like Kals, I have heard so many mixed reviews on both the book and the movie so I am glad to hear your take on it. I'm going to give both a try but I think I will read the book first to get more of an understanding of the plot before I watch the movie which seems to not be able to dive in deep enough for most people. <br /><br />Thank you for your review!<br /><br />MegAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215175059156496817.post-70024314780695555562009-09-26T10:16:24.478-06:002009-09-26T10:16:24.478-06:00Nice to read your thoughts on a book that I've...Nice to read your thoughts on a book that I've seen getting several mixed reviews.

This is something I usually avoid doing. I mean I do just the opposite . I saw the movie but didn't even know it was based on a novel. Now, after reading your review, I'd like to read it, it seems the characters are better developed, with more psychological insight.
