I was expecting a fast-paced "whodunit", but it was slow. In the end, I felt James was just trying to match the somewhat slower pace of the Austen novels. <br /><br />SPOILER ALERT! I was disappointed that Wickham wasn't the one who was murdered. HA!<br /><br />It was also weird to read about bad things happening in my magical little fictional world of perfect characters and "perfect marriages". Kind of disturbing. At the end of P&P, Darcy and Elizabeth are supposed to live happily ever after. The end. Then this murder happens on their property.<br /><br />Anyhow, good to read someone else's perspective!<br /><br />AndreaAnonymous Catholic Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00024185509923727963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883970092765312318.post-65828848414428199802012-02-17T15:06:40.431-07:002012-02-17T15:06:40.431-07:00I'm still bummed that I was so disappointed in...I'm still bummed that I was so disappointed in it-Paul would keep asking if it was getting better, and I'd keep getting angrier at it!<br /><br />I would definitely recommend the other books PD James has written if you're in the mood for a mystery novel, they're very well written and the stories never disappoint! <br /><br />And I was just thinking about rereading Sense and Sensibility-love that book!Christy from fountains of homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11130888193737436970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883970092765312318.post-25624244519351488072012-02-16T20:22:34.927-07:002012-02-16T20:22:34.927-07:00Well I was going to buy this book, but because of ...Well I was going to buy this book, but because of your reasons, I know I would be highly disappointed as well! Darn it! Another one bites the dust...<br />I ordered a few books that I heard were fantastic and both were disappointing so I have went back to sense and sensibility which I love. Can't go wrong with the classics;)Anna @ IHODhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10716122766373148215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883970092765312318.post-59069427429402958252012-02-15T12:03:53.673-07:002012-02-15T12:03:53.673-07:00I've been meaning to start reading it...too ba...I've been meaning to start reading it...too bad you didn't like it!
