I agree that this book was well written, in tone with much of Austen's style (although I thought it lacked her acerbic touch), but I couldn't stay interested. I didn't feel that any of her characters came to life, and I thought the matchups she envisioned were unlikely. It was a curiosity, no more. I should add that I'm not much on crossovers or mashups in general; perhaps this would work well enough for someone who likes them.
