標題說了, 勉强看就是說這本書不好看. 其實一本書好不好看完全是個人主觀問題. 我覺得不是因為作者(Regina Jeffers)文筆不好, 而是我倦了; 對這些圍繞我愛的經典傲慢與偏見出版的續集不再一股熱情. 這幾本續集(我大概買了5本續集, 都是不同作者)全都不便宜, 當時真的是憑那股熱情和好奇心; 唉, 現在後悔啊!

這本書標題是: Darcy's Passions: Pride and Prejudice Retold Through His Eyes. 由達西的觀點重寫傲慢與偏見. 我看了三分之二(全書385頁)就決定不再浪費時間看完全書, 因為我已喪失興趣, 尢其是達西和伊麗莎白結婚後發生的事, sorry, 作者的苦心並没有燃起我的好奇心. 我認為, 真想知道達西的内心想法和感情, Amanda Grange的Mr. Darcy's Diary(達西的日記) 可讀性更高. Darcy's Passions-- 不看也罷!

Book Description From Amazon.ca

The love and romance of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" retold from the perspective of the suitor - Fitzwilliam Darcy. Witty and amusing, this novel captures the original style, themes, and sardonic humour of Jane Austen's novel while turning the entire story on its head in a most engaging and entertaining fashion. "Darcy's Passions" tells the story of Fitzwilliam Darcy and his obsession with the most impossible woman - Elizabeth Bennet. It presents Darcy as a man in turmoil. His duty to his family and to his estate demand he chooses a woman of refined tastes. Yet, what his mind tells him to do and what his heart knows to be true are two different things.He loves a woman he first denies for being unworthy, but it is he who is found wanting when Elizabeth Bennet refuses his proposal of marriage. Devastated, he must search his soul and transform himself into the man she can love and respect. This book tells how Darcy found the way within himself to become a hero, and not the villain, of this beloved tale.
