Query: ouch, ouch, ouch

A few of the other reviews say "I never read the original P &P...". Egad, if you've never read the original, do yourself a favour and begin it immediately! Don't waste your time with this inane drivel. I know this is Ms Nathan's first book, but I wonder how she got a book deal with this idea. What was the pitch? "I'll write a book and base it on a classic. No wait, I'll just copy (in some places word for word) the classic in plot and characters, thereby saving myself from having to come up with anything original." Poke my eye, this was horrid stuff.Now, I myself like a good romance to read while soaking in the tub, but a good romance doesn't have to mean predictable to the point of boredom (I mean really, if you know who every character is immediately and exactly who they are going to end up with, and exactly how they will get there, and exactly what they'll say while they're on their way...).Ack, Ack, Ack, big ol' hairball.
