Just like many women worldwide I love the story of Pride and Prejudice. I love Elizabeth Bennett and of course the Mr. Darcy. So while I know the original can never be compared to I thought it would be fun to read some of the stories coming out that are a continued version of the story. Mr. Darcys decision came up as the first in the pile.
While I will be the first to say that this book does not have the same substance and structure as pride and prejudice, it is still an enjoyable read. Juliette Shapiro does a good job of keeping the characters as true to their original colors as possible. You have waves of angst and over all a good telling of the story.
I fear I can not go into to many details as the plot is fairly well interwoven and I dont want to give any of it away. If you like Pride and Prejudice I do think you will like Mr. Darcys decision. But you will need to always keep at the front of your mind the reminder that it is not Jane Austen.

I really wanted to like it more then I did. It was slow in parts, and at times I felt impatient to get things going!!

it was fair enough. i am still not impressed by the spin offs of p&p. i don't want to give too much away so i feel like in some of the spin offs they tried to upgrade some of the characters and to marry everyone off. so far the best spin offs i have read are by linda bedroll. Hers seem to me the more believable portrayal of the p&p characters. This one was ok but after reading others this one was too kind to some characters.
if you haven't read linda bedrolls books, i belive you would find them better and more believable. off to the next spin off.
