An Ode to an Author and a Tribute to Jane Austen

Amanda Grange Books
Review: +
Rating: S, as safe as any Austin book would be

If you are a die hard Austenite, you probably know there are several books out there telling Darcy's point of view. Well this is the one I have read and this will be the one I review/recommend....
Amanda Grange has actually written several books from the 'man' point of view.
Mr. Darcy's Diary
Mr. Knightley's Diary
Captain Wentworth's Diary
Edmund Bertrams Diary
and coming soon (the anticipation is killing me) Colonel Brandon's Diary

I found them very fun and quite enjoyable. Besides the fact that it is a work of fiction, it was so fun seeing what Darcy was thinking that whole time. Who knew :)
Darcy's diary went through about 6 of my family in less than 2 weeks, we all thought it was super fun. Being that we knew the plot all ready and it was fluffy, I cant say it took my breath away, but I liked it enough to pick up Mr. Knightley and am excited for Colonel Brandon!
