I totally loved this book!
I just finished it and I think I could read it again just now. It was amazing. I am so happy I bought this book to myself, it will be one of the pearls of my book shelf.
I love the parts when Darcy is thinking of Elizabeth and writing such a beautiful things about her.
The book was easy and rather fast to read. I am sure I will reread it later on. :)

Much better than the other Austen pastiches I've read lately. Lots of historical items of interest thrown in, which were entertaining and fun. Also shows depth of change of character, not just plot and pining, as most other spin-offs do.
I have to say, I really didn't like this book this much. The only reason I finished it is because I kept convincing myself that surely it would get better at some point. It's not that the writing was bad, it's just that the content is fairly boring for the most part. I really could have done with less fencing, traveling, and eating.
Reads like Fanfic, the story of Mr Darcy from Pride and Prejudice and his story via his diaries (with a superflous justification thrown in as well. Yes it's a clever conceit and much of what he does reflects the seedier side of the reality of the time; you can tell the author knows this period and has done the research.
But, it's really just fanfic, he really didn't quite engage me. There were some interesting funny bits in the story that kept me reading but really it was just pretty mundane.
Fitz as his friends call him is pretty shallow, but he learns a lot about love when he tries to help a friend and we learn more about why he hated Wickham.
