I really wanted to like this book, but it did not do anything for me. I was bored to tears.

I liked how the author made sure you knew what Jane had written, and where she took over (which is one of the reasons I wanted to like it). But once she took over, it just did not keep my interest.

Perhaps others may enjoy the book more, but for myself, it was ok, but not something I would brag about. I actually prefered Sanditon (the other unfinished Novel by Jane and Juliette Shapiro ISBN-13: 9781569756218). I gave this two and a half stars.
