I'd expected a more factual account, but this is an exceptional piece of literature regardless and fulfills its purpose. The author illustrates his experiences so vividly that, although it was emotionally taxing, I could not stop reading.

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.
These stories were recommended to me over 10 years ago, but I'm a little relieved that I hadn't gotten my hands on a physical copy sooner. I feel as though I wouldn't have liked them as much back then as I do now.
I love the soothing, calm but strange and sorrowful atmosphere the author crafts. The way the characters talk to eachother is a bit dull sometimes, but that might just be a translation/culture thing.
