Enjoying it so far. Interesting and hard to put down.

Disappointing. So many errors.

So long-winded. Mostly it's the three cousins talking and talking. Now it seems to be focusing on Anne's new plan for the direction of her life.

This has some very positive reviews, but I'm 30% in, and so far, most of the story consists of extended meetings where Anne, Richard, and Darcy talk and talk. It's very tiresome.

I find myself eager to finish or at least to read something besides long meetings between the cousins. Time to start skimming. I'm thinking of DNFing if nothing happens by the 50% mark.

I'm only 12% in, and I already feel like this will never end. There was a conversation where Darcy and Elizabeth get to know each other at a dinner, and it was so banal. It went on forever. At least it went beyond the weather. I remember reading faster and faster, skimming even, as I kept hoping the dinner would end. From other reviewers, I believe there will be some excitement at the ball. Fingers crossed.

The skimming has begun.

Of course, as I feared, Lydia has made a miraculous recovery except for blurry vision. This is so unrealistic as she was supposedly unconscious for about 10 days.

Some interesting ideas but Mr Gardiner just traveled from Pemberley to Ramsgate in 2 days using Darcy’s fast carriage and horses. Amazing. LOL

Lydia has been unconscious for at least a week with a head injury. She would have died in a few days. If she miraculously recovers, this will probably be a DNF for me.
