For all Austen fans, there's a lot to like about this book. Sittenfeld's smart writing is once again on display and with Austen's P&P tale as her muse, not much can go wrong. However, reading this truly makes you appreciate how masterful the original P&P really is and how Sittenfeld's modern refreshes of the story are hardly necessary. Not everything *works* in this book, some of the reimagining is far too silly and contrite. However there's a lot fun in this and it's such an easy read, you'll be hooked from beginning to end.
