Editor's Notes and Comments:
Brief Book Summary:
'Ten thousand a year and a large estate in Derbyshire!' That was all Mrs. Bennet desired to know of Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy before she began to entertain hopes that one of her daughters would attract his attention. In Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen reveals little of her creation's past or present before banishing him for quite two thirds of her book. But, who is Fitzwilliam Darcy?
An Assembly Such as This, the very first book of the Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman trilogy, answers that intriguing question by taking the reader into Darcy's world, a world very different from Elizabeth Bennet's. Chronicling Darcy's supervision of his naive friend Charles Bingley and his growing fascination with Elizabeth Bennet, it culminates with the disastrous ball at Netherfield and Darcy's return to London with the express intention of forgetting Elizabeth amidst the dizzying and dangerous whirl of Regency society.

I was very happy with this book. At times I had the Pride and Prejudice movie on while I was reading, so I could see what was going on in Mr. Darcy's mind at certain moments. It was great to have his perspective. It was interesting to see his struggles brought out. It made him a much more likable character.

I am not the type of person who usually goes in for "fan-fiction" but I really enjoyed this series. There were moments when I felt the characters were a bit over dramatic or when I was just sick of Darcy's endless inner monologs, but I really loved the perspective Pamela Aidan added to the traditional Pride and Prejudice story.
I can sympathize with the people who felt this book was boring because it followed the Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice to closely, but it's well worth the read because the rest of the series proved to me to be very rewarding.
If you are the kind of person who has read Pride and prejudice till it fell apart, and who's BBC (ala Colin Firth) Pride and Prejudice DVD set is scratched and now only plays ½ the story, then this is just the series for you! Pamela Aiden has expanded on the Darcy we all know and love, not to mention trampled on the Caroline Bingley none of us can stand.

I don't know how many Pride and Prejudice related books I have read, but of the majority I haven't been impressed. Though this is not a sequel, it's more of a parallel story, and I just love how Aidan is able to fill in the gaps of what Austen has written all from Darcy's perspective. From her fine writing, it just shows that she read deep in between the original text to give us a perfect interpretation of Darcy's thoughts in all of the events that happen in P&P. Aidan has copied perfectly the style of Austen. This is my second read of the trilogy, and I just love the books. Though I have yet to find a continuation to my liking, the different perspectives of P&P that have been rewritten have been quite good. I would highly recommend the beginning of this trilogy to any Austen fan.

I could not finish this book. I found it very boring and completely agree with other reviewers who say that the author turned Darcy into a teen-aged girl. They couldn't have said it better.
