A review by lamom77
The Watsons & Emma Watson by Joan Aiken, Jane Austen

3.0

I give this 3.5 stars. This book is in 2 parts, the first is The Watsons, a portion of a story by Jane Austen. I really enjoyed this and had ideas of where the story might go. The 2nd part picks up where Jane Austen left off and is called Emma Watson by Joan Aiken. I liked this as a standalone story but to me it did not feel like a continuation of the Jane Austen story. Same characters and same setting, but the story felt different and seemed to veer off in many ways that I thought Jane Austen may not have intended it. Joan Aiken also put a more modern spin on the details than Jane Austen would have done.
