A review by hnbb
Mr. Darcy's Diary by Amanda Grange
4.0
This is literally the first book I put on my goodreads "to read" list. I finally read it. I am sad I didn't read it sooner. It was such a fun read.
I am not a huge "Pride and Prejudice" fan. I enjoy the book and the Colin Firth movie. That is about as far as it goes. I don't often read "fan fiction", but I heard this was good and thought I would try. I could very much see the characters I have grown to love. It was interesting to see the (possible) other side of the story. It made me smile and there were times I couldn't put the book down.
The book is written pretty well, but the language is not quite Austen enough. Not a huge complaint. that is hard to do. But, how often can you use the word satirical in a book? In this one at least 20 times and that is, sadly, not an exaggeration. There are several other words that could have been used. It seemed too much.
