I 'm annoyed that I wasted time reading this book instead of re-reading Pride and Prejudice or Jane Austen's own letters, both of which are much more amusing and better written. This one has modern slang creeping in frequently ("to die for"), irritating footnotes, and a pretense that just about everything in Jane Austen's novels was directly inspired by happenings and people in her life. Bah!
