Lost in Austen

This is a choose-your-own-adventure book based on Pride and Prejudice, with other Jane Austen novels worked into the adventures. At first, I was pretty annoyed by it. If you follow the obvious choices that lead down the true storyline of P&P, then it is just a lesser version of that novel. Some of the choices (do you take the path to the left or to the right?) end up in silly violent deaths of some of the characters. After working my way through the book once, I went back and read it cover to cover, so I could read all of the different turns and discovered that the places where the book is slightly fun is in the imaginings of Elizabeth Bennet encountering characters and storylines from other Austen novels. Of course, those imaginings are also ridiculous, because Elizabeth would never act like Marianne from Sense and Sensibility. In the end, I enjoyed this book a little, but I'll just stick with the original versions in the future.
