****Warning: "Pride and Prejudice" Spoilers****
If you haven't read "Pride and Prejudice", I highly recommend it.
I saw this book at our library's book sale for 50 cents, so I thought, why not, cheap book, supports the library. This book follows the story of "Pride and Prejudice" from Darcy's viewpoint. As I was reading it I really thought that it was mostly an exposition of the thoughts Atlmer had as she was reading "Pride and Prejudice". I really didn't feel like I learned anything that I didn't already guess at from reading the original. Perhaps my expectations were too high. I was hoping to get more of a taste of Darcy's manner and thoughts, and especially an extended scene where Darcy convinced Wickham to marry Lydia. That part of the story has always given me a little trouble, so I was hoping for something to fill in the gaps for me.
It gave me what I was looking for a quick, thoughtless read. I'm sure there is more fan fiction like this out there, perhaps I'll have to peruse some to see if I can find a good Darcy-Wickham scene.
