A review by fififlora
Netherfield Prep by Elizabeth Stevens
4.0
A modern version of Pride and prejudice.. The one and only..
I want to first.; thank the dear author for granting me with a free copy in exchange of an Honest review! And I really appreciate it
I liked the book very much.. It was amusing and funny at times it really made me giggle..
I loved Austen..(our Mr. Darcy) his personality.. Loyalty and protection for the ones closest to him..and his affection (so to say) to our Lily (my dear Elizabeth) whom I really loved and enjoyed her witness and self-respect.. Her personality in general..
The plot was not that appealing at first.. I didn't get attached to the story at first but as I read on.. It really grew on me.. And at my second reading set I was up to 5 PM just wanting to know how it's going to end ( even though I knew the original ending.. I wanted to know your version of it..) and you didn't disappoint me..
I really liked how you mixed and turned things up to make it your own version!
AND I really loved how you made them twins!
But there was some parts that didn't go well with the modern theme.. Like some of the conversations.. And sometimes the way they talk even though they are only 17 and 18 which for me was a bit young.. But who am I to judge!
I got a feeling of nostalgia while reading and did the quickest thing I could do after finishing it.. I went and watched the movie (Pride and prejudice 2005) and felt so much again.. Thank you for that!
This is the first book I read of a retelling of another book (if that's what it's called) and I can say that I was empressed and looking forward to reading other ones..
