Goodreads Rating: 2.5 stars
Narrator Rating: 4 stars
I was suggested to read this book by my boyfriend’s sister, in time for the movie. I want to first point out, I am not a fan of the writing style of the time period, and I have never really been a fan of Jane Austen. I do not even enjoy watching movies her books are based off of. However, I gave this a good shot. And I didn’t care for it.
My low rating is simply because I did not care for it. It did not wow me. But, I admit, it is because, as I said, I do not like Austen style books. So. This rating is skewed in that regards.
I did like the narrator. I think that is the only reason I kept listening. She made it enjoyable. I was a fan of Grahame-Smith’s Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter so I was looking forward to the style. I think that his ability to blend in his story in the Austen style was good, so my rating isn’t necessarily because of him. He did a good job. I just didn’t like the overall story of Austen’s.

It’s a shame you didn’t like this as much as you hoped. I’m like you, I don’t get on with Austen’s books because of the writing style – though I do love the movies! I’m not sure I’d see this movie, though. Thanks for linking up to the Retellings Reading Challenge 2016!
