Overall an enjoyable read. The Austen wittiness is there, but I feel as though the characters lack depth. Mr. Robert Ferrars became my favourite character by the end solely because anytime he'd appear, I was sure to laugh at him.
The ending itself is, in my opinion, so ridiculous and so out of nowhere, I've really no words for it.
Very lighthearted and amusing. The characters are fun and memorable, definitely will reread. I'd personally like to see some parts shortened and others expanded on, but oh well.
I deeply regret that I watched the film (2005) before reading the book. The film is such a treasure as well, but focuses chiefly on the romance – which is just as well – but the book has so much depth and fleshes the characters out so well. I much prefer book Mr. Darcy.
Certainly an enlightening insight into the lives of two women during differing parts of the 20th century. The art is very expressive, and gets the characters' emotions across just fine. Overall though, I thought that the "graphic" part of the graphic novel was rather underwhelming.
