Rating: Summary: Not Even 20 Pages In!!! Review: "Mr. Darcy's Daughters" is a pleasant ATTEMPT in trying to continue one of the best pieces of literature of all time (Pride & Prejudice). Main word: attempt. Aston fails to provide me with a worthwhile look into the future of Mr. Darcy's offspring. Why did she have to make all of the characters so unlikable? I found myself not even caring for Camilla and Mr. Wytton. I didn't even like where she took the story. I give Aston points for her writing and informative details of London...and that's about it.
Rating: Summary: Another Austen Re-Make Dissappointment Review: Everytime I buy a sequel that was not written by the author of the orignal I swear that I will never do it again. Needless to a say when I started reading this book my expectations were low, but it did succeced in surpassing them ( which honestly does not say much).While it is missing some key elements that any die-hard Austen fan will expect (just one appearence from Mrs. and Mr. Darcy would have been nice) it does succeced in creating a story of its own within the sphere of Austen's world. This book nowhere compares to the orignal but in a realm of glossless remakes it definatly holds its own.
