sargardoon 's review for:
The Other Bennet Sister
by Janice Hadlow
I enjoyed reading about the characters I thought I knew, their suppressed thoughts, and the hidden aspects of their personalities. And I started seeing them not as dull or one dimensional as I saw them before. My second least favorite character in Pride and Prejudice was Mr. Collins. The surprise of this book for me was that it made me stop judging him that harshly.
It was fun to hear the story of Pride and Prejudice from a different point of view. But soon after I started reading this book, I found out that this is not just that. It's more. I liked Mary in this book. I understood her. And when she started thriving and becoming bold and confident, I only wanted her to end up happy. But something happened in the last third of the book or so. Not sure what. Maybe it was the feeling that the book is getting longer and longer, and I'm reading the same things again and again. So by the time the book ended, not much was left out of my excitement for Mary.
