I in general hated this book but loved it at the same time. I had been forced to watch the BBC mini series years ago so I couldn't get the actor's faces and way of presenting their characters out of my mind as I read so it may have influenced me in some way. I understand the title of the book but I still wanted to grab Darcy and slap him about a bit and tell him not to be such a nob.

Generally enjoyable novel which seemed very familiar probably because much of its plot and scenes have probably turned up in many other books and films since this was first published. Not as exciting as I'd hoped but almost a page turner.
