(This review was written before I knew much about Austen, England, or the Regency era's customs, etc. Take it with a grain of salt...)

July 2008: This story seemed true to the original and the language compared well. The only part that frustrated me was the last two pages when everything just suddenly fell into place in a matter of sentences. I understand that this is a common style but it irritates me nonetheless. I figure, if the author spent 170 pages developing a story, then why conclude it in just a short paragraph or two with everything magically working out and falling right into place? ( )

Pemberley:Or Pride and Prejudice Atrociously Continued

This author should get a restraining order for writing any sequel to a Jane Austen book. ( )

The end felt a little too abrupt. Tennant had kept more or less to the same style as the original. Most of the characters too followed a similar arc - I found Mrs. Bennet as annoying as before! Kitty and Mary had a little more to say which was a good thing. Elizabeth seemed rather too anxious. Maybe all that misunderstanding was because of the strict rules of Victorian behaviour??? An entertaining read nevertheless. ( )

Sequel to Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice'. Good voices for some of the characters, but inconsistent timeline, rambling plotting, and too-fast conclusion. ( )

Um, how about shockingly bad? For a start? Sigh. Three hours of my life I won’t get back; that’s for damn sure.

This horrid sequel to Pride and Prejudice can only claim to be the sequel if Elizabeth Bennet was destined to turn into the ridiculous, fluttering creature that is her mother. I never thought of her as a jump-to- conclusions kind of girl in the real story–over-eager to believe the worst in someone, if it suits her, sure. But insipid, guarded, able to hold her tongue when she shouldn’t. No. I kept waiting for her to shout out “My poor nerves!”

The entire story is inconsistent. The plot line moves along in fits and starts, magically advancing many days and significant events in the space of a page, while dawdling horribly several pages to represent the space of a few hours. There are a few additional characters that Ms. Tennant adds here, but that are all abysmal.

Ridiculous. That’s the sum. Don’t read it. Don’t buy it. And don’t borrow it from your library. Resist the temptation, no matter how much of a Pride and Prejudice geek you are. This can only grossly disappoint. The review snippets giving it a rave on Amazon must be for some other book. Oh, and don’t be deceived, Ms. Tennant published this story previously under the name: Pemberley: A sequel to Pride and Prejudice. Eschew them both! ( )
