hokiejo 's review for:

Sense & Sensibility by Joanna Trollope

3.0

---

It was okay. I was helped along by knowing the plot ahead of time from seeing the movie (reading the original is now on my list.) The characters were hard to keep track of (every character called the same person by a different name) and the plot line was confusing. I didn't like the writing style and it felt like the modernity was thrown in in weird places. Almost like she was writing the story and then remembered there needed to be some proof of this taking place in the 21st century. I'll keep reading The Austen Project books to see how other authors re-write Austen, but this one, at least, can't compete with the original.
