Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
When Elizabeth Bennet very first met Mr. Darcy, she found him proud, distant, and rude—despite the other ladies' admiration of his estate in Derbyshire and ten thousand pounds a year. But what was Mr. Darcy thinking?
Jane Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice has long stood among the most beloved novels of all time. The story of Elizabeth Bennet's blossoming romance with 'haughty, reserved, and fastidious' Fitzwilliam Darcy has enchanted readers for nearly two centuries. Yet, Mr. Darcy has always remained an intriguing enigma—his thoughts, feelings, and motivations hidden behind a cold, impenetrable exterior . . . until now.
With the utmost respect for Austen's original masterwork, author Janet Aylmer loving retells Pride and Prejudice from a bold new perspective: seeing events as they transpire through the eyes of Darcy himself. One of world's great love stories takes on breathtaking new life, and one of fiction's greatest romantic heroes becomes even more sympathetic, compelling, attractive, and accessible, all through the imagination and artistry of a truly gifted storyteller.

It was a good book. I didnt pay much for it so I don't regret buying it. I would like to have read more about Darcy thou,Most of the writing in it I already knew, being a P&P fan and read all things Austen. The writer did not expound on Mr. Darcy as much as the book was to allow.

Despite the opinion of others, I rather enjoyed this book, being such an avid Austen enthusiast. I have often wondered quietly to myself what exactly was going through the mind of our dear Mr. Darcy during this moment, or what he was really thinking when Lizzie said this, that, or the other. Perhaps Miss Aylmer didn't mirror Jane Austen's style of writing completely, but when again, who really could? Jane had a style of her own, and even the best of today's authors couldn't mimic her completely. This book was meant as a light-hearted twist on a story that both Miss Aylmer and her daughter share a bond over. She wrote it for her daughter, as I understand. So despite the repetativeness, the exact copy of Pride and Prejudice passages, and the thinness of the book, I personally enjoyed it and recommend it to others. Others being strict fans of Pride and Prejudice that is.

I am a self-confessed Pride & Prejudice-aholic. It is a disease that I am comfortable maintaining. I have read dozens of spin-offs and sequels to Pride & Prejudice and had enjoyment in many.
HOWEVER, this one is a simple cut & paste from Jane Austen. At times, less than once sentence per page was written in the author's own voice. WHICH, I might add was not entertaining in the least. The author explained things very obvious and left nothing to the imagination. He was angry. He thought about her all night long. BLAH! Boring!!!! I can't tell you how much I hated this book. I simply pray you do not waste a BRASS farthing on it. I will give away my copy.... maybe to someone I don't like.
I can't imagine anyone who has the degree of taste in literature it takes to enjoy and appreciate a literary genius like Austen, take any pleasure in this rag!! The author should be ashamed to make a dime off of this cut & paste Austen knockoff. Just read the original novel, and consider that I just saved you three hours of your life you might have wasted.

Writing a story from the perspective of Fitzwilliam Darcy was a clever idea. Unfortunately, the story the author "created" is merely mildly interesting. The author attempted to mimic exactly what was written by Jane Austen but, in the process, no original insight is introduced to this 200 year old story. The events the entire plot revolves around are in the scenes that are clearly copied from the original Pride & Prejudice; these are the times in which Darcy interacts with P&P's heroine, Eliza Bennett. It is my opinion that the author followed Austen's original work a little too faithfully, almost to the extent that she was afraid to alter anything. Nothing can be gained from this story that won't be found in P&P. Therefore, if you choose to read DARCY'S STORY, it is my recommendation that Pride & Prejudice be read in advance (however, by then, DARCY'S STORY will have been rendered irrelevant to you).
