The idea was good: writing Pride & Prejudice from the point of view of Mr Darcy. It was the perfect way to find out more about the mysterious Darcy and how he saved the Bennets' reputation. The book is written in the form of a diary, which could have been an interesting - and different - way to re-tell the story. Sadly, only the months (which were chapters, sort of) and dates at the beginning of every entry reminded me that it was indeed a diary. Darcy wote about the events as if they were happening, and to the word. I know this is fiction, but no one ever writes a diary this way. Also, many pieces were taken straight from Pride & Prejudce, which is perhaps the reason why I did enjoy this book. It was a way to read the story once again, but in a 'fresher' way. The downside, though, is that you get to understand Darcy, to know what's going on in his head, and it totally spoiled the character for me. He came across as fickle, like a teenage boy. And what makes Mr Darcy Mr Darcy is his cold, haughty attitude. So the constant "I love Elisabeth, but I must stop thinking about her. Oh but I caaaaaan't" made me cringe a little. At the end, Amanda Grange imagines what the first months of Mr and Mrs Darcy may have been like, but it's short and not very thoughtful. It could have brought something to the initial story but it did not. To put it in a nutshell, it's a nice read but you might as well pick Austen's story.
