Who Needs Mr Darcy?

A reprint of ‘The Bad Miss Bennett' under a different title. This is a pretty poor spin-off that doesn't even attempt to write in a Regency style or even give a sense of atmosphere, despite all the travelling to different countries in Europe. The plot is meandering and ludicrous and the only thing the writer has really used from Austen is the names. I wasn't that keen on the first person perspective either. If you are willing not to be put off by this, what you have is a reasonably entertaining if forgettable book. I didn't completely hate it but I won't remember it either.
