Pride, Prejudice and Jasmin Field

This was a super fast reading book. The reason? It was nauseatingly predictable. Perhaps it is because I have overloaded myself with the essence of this story or perhaps because the author of this book just basically followed the storyline of Jane Austen's original work - and did not really deviate from it at all.

The one thing that always bothers me is that in just about every single Pride and Prejudice rewrite, variation or continuation, the 'Lizzy' character is always made out to be something that she is not. For example, the 'Lizzy' in this rendering is called Jasmin - or Jazz for short. She is a journalist who goes to audition for a play - and we can all guess who the producer of the play is going to be - and, predictably, she gives an auditorium shattering performance. I understand that somehow she has to find her way into proximity with the 'Darcy' character, but please. A bit more imagination!

All in all, it gets a 'Meh' from me. It was not terrible, but it was not *very good* either. A definite 'check out at the Library' book.
