If you didnt love Darcy bey the end of Pride and Prejudice you will by the end of this book. Telling the story from Darcy's point of view sheds whole new meanings on previously one sided converstatoins. It also gives us scenes previously untold. In generaly Darcy's character is flushed out in a manner that truely earns him the worlds best romantic hero ever written.

This retelling of P&P through Mr Darcy's eyes started off alright but ended up kind of bad. I didn't like most of the original characters the author inserted into the story and I also don't like that the story essentially spans over two more books. I don't think I'll be picking up the other books.
