The formidable Lady Catherine de Bourgh makes little attempt to hide her distain for her nephew's wife. She is joined by Caroline Bingley, as sharp tongued and resentful as ever, in the shared amusement of criticising Elizabeth. But the new mistress of Pemberley soon has more pressing matters on her mind, the fact that she is carrying the Darcy heir being the most pleasant of them. The sudden return of her sister Lydia brings cause for concern. Alarming reports of a seduction, blackmail and the need to keep news of another's confinement secret dampen even Elizabeth's notoriously high spirits and Darcy shows his true character when faced with the most difficult decision of his life. Has he been softened by his love for Elizabeth or is his former remoteness about to be resurrected? Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - I suppose it could have been worse I should start by saying that my biggest objection to this book was the awful grammar. I'll credit her with trying very hard to imitate Jane Austen's diction (to the point where she very frequently uses direct quote phrases from the book/movie where her own construction probably would have been better/clearer). That said, her sentence construction is worse than most fourth-graders I know, and her dialog is ridiculous. Some examples: "Your accomplishments Catherine Bennet, ... Read More Rating: - sequel to P&P Shapiro's sequel to Jane Austen's P&P has several "interesting" diversions, especially those involving Lady Catherine's conversion. I love the fact that Col. Fitzwilliam and Anne are married, a fact I always assumed would happen. The author, generally, succeeds in capturing the language of the period, although it is so obvious that we no longer speak in such a manner as did Darcy and Elizabeth. That is a shame because the lack of dialogue in the original creates the story. It tells us things no ... Read More Rating: - Excessively Annoyed While the plot could have been worse, it was tremendously forgettable. And while Shapiro used the Austen-era language well, could someone PLEASE get this woman an editor? There were commas where they were unnecessary, and the absence of them when they were needed. Sentences ran on and on and ON. She would do well to learn that it's quite acceptable to use a semicolon, somewhere, anywhere! I unfortunately cannot get past these egregious grammatical errors, because it made the book a headache to read. Rating: - WONDERFUL!!! Was very pleased! Was quite surprised how much i enjoyed this book! Is a wonderful continuation! I especially loved the way Mr. Darcy was portrayed;How his whole manner was'softened' by Elizabeths love & spirit. All of the characters I felt were done justice, & that Mr. Wickham was turned for good by Darcy?! Awesome. Only drawback.....the ending. Wanted SO to hear what happened at the ball!! I sincerely hope the Author will do another book, picking up from there Rating: - Pleasantly Surprised I went straight from Pride & Prejudice to Excessively Diverted and I have to say that it flowed very nicely together. I bought this after reading recommendations from others on Amazon and I'm happy to say that I do not regret it at all. I really enjoyed this book. The language, I felt, stayed fairly close to Austen and while I didn't care for what happened to some characters, I must admit it flowed exactly how I felt it would have after the events in P&P. By the middle of the book I couldn't put it down ...
