I found the book by luck at a local bookstore (was never able to find one before) and amongst the fan-written Austen books, this one was found more tolerable than the rest. I wouldn’t know if it’s because I’m less of a critic, but personally, I didn’t find anything to bash the book. In fact, I liked the way it was written (not as exact as Austen’s, but I don’t see any major errors) and certainly, the point of view of Darcy was enlightening. I would say it was logical - it made sense, and at least you wouldn’t find a suddenly-changed Darcy standing in front of Elizabeth because now you’ve an idea how the change happened.

Being the Jane Austen fan that I am, I’d recommend this companion (not exactly sequel, eh?) because it remained true to the characters and their personalities. At least, in my opinion. I only wish it didn’t cost so much. Php 600 is very heavy in my pocket. :P
