I agree with you there are great twists but I liked Darcy/Cowan, he was a funny parody of real Darcy. I'm not fond of blond blokes, this is maybe why I didn't like Bingley so much! The lake scene at Regency time? She should have been really too daring!Maria Graziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876779286144473782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-13188124859475813342009-09-03T13:37:45.018+02:002009-09-03T13:37:45.018+02:00I wasn't completely taken with Lost in Austen....I wasn't completely taken with Lost in Austen.<br />Its fun in parts but I doubt I'd buy it. Must admit I liked Mr Bingly over Darcy in this -never a good sign!There were however some great twists!!!

I've read you're back at last.<br />In fact, June, LOST IN AUSTEN was quite amusing but DARCY's fans may be puzzled by the parodized character they find in this version. It is a parody of the real Darcy, that's it!

I was just hoping we could have seen more of Lizzie's 21st century life!<br /><br />P.S. I remembered you so much today Maria! I have a course in university that's called "Brazilian social, economical and political reality" and today was all about how our roots are TOTALLY connected with the italians!

I'm one of the many Colin Firth's devoted fans and he will always be THE Mr Darcy for me. A bit like you with RA. Ciao.

I love how the Darcy character was stiff but almost seemed to be lightening up at points in the show. I've read several JA sequels not written by JA. Some are great, some are funny and some are pure trash. You never know what gem you might uncover until you read them. Since I saw you post this book in your sidebar I thought it looked interesting and might read it one day. I'm trying to get my hands on a copy of "pride & Prejudice & Zombies" or "Sense & Sensibility & Sea Monsters". lol. They look funny to me. I think adaptations, variances and continuations are okay as long as you take them for what they are. It's like trying veggie burgers and expecting them to taste like meat, you'll be disappointed. But if you expect them to taste like the veg medly they are, you might just enjoy them!Lotta Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10110429900653881113noreply@blogger.com
