I received this copy through Bookmooch. Am quite curious, if I will like the book, since I haven't read any of Jane Austen's books yet.

Edit Jan, 10:
Can't say I have been too impressed with this. I don't even know how to classify it, really. It's not exactly chick-lit, but not exactly something else, either. Basically it's fluff. Nothing wrong with that, of course. It's quite readably and not half as cringeworthy as I thought it would be. It's just not my cup of tea at all. But nevertheless I am glad I have read it to understand what all the fuzz is about - as usual: nothing. ;-)
One good thing, though: I am now even surer than I was before that I will never become a fan of Jane Austen's books. From what I read about them in this book they sound beyond dull to me.

Just as entertaining as the movie, which I also thoroughly enjoyed. Would definately recommend the book to people even if they are not Jane Austen fans, which would include myself. Thanks for sharing samulli1

Arrived today safely.

It's an enjoyable, light reading. I haven't read half of the Austen-books, but it didn't bothered me at all.

Lynett's already had this book, so it is looking for new readers.
