I'll be reviewing the book and hopefully these paragraphs are an indication of the rest of the story!<br /><br />Just so you know, I forgot to include in this post that this book is supposed to be a modern version of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, a book I love.

I'm enjoying it so far. It's entertaining and I like the characters. It's supposed to be based on Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen with a lor of characters who are similar to the ones in Sense and Sensibility. I haven't met them all yet but I'm looking forward to it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309803128000518121.post-13516006025810663452011-11-10T17:42:07.147-05:002011-11-10T17:42:07.147-05:00Diane: It's light and entertaining so far!

The Austen connectionwas the attraction to this book for me - I wish I'd noticed I forgot to include that info in this post! I think I've been a little distracted recently.

Oh well! I think you're right that it's great for vacation. I've read some of it and it's light and entertaining. In some ways it's very different than Sense and Sensibility but I haven't met all of the characters yet.<br /><br />I adore Sense and Sensibility.

This is, supposedly, a modern retelling of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. I love that JA book and so I wanted to see how Cathleen Schine handled the story. It is a light book, entertaining, too.

I loved Sense and Sensibility and having read one of Cathleen Schine's books years ago, I wanted to read this.<br /><br />I find that when I'm not feeling well or having a bad day with pain and cannot concentrate on the books I'm reading, I can focus on lighter books. The problem is finding lighter books I want to read. Many I lose interest in after reading for a bit! More often than not I read mysteries and thrillers on these days/nights or reread books I enjoyed!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309803128000518121.post-21973793969480516212011-11-09T22:51:40.138-05:002011-11-09T22:51:40.138-05:00I found this opening interesting.
