I felt that since the book takes place in a contemporary setting, the language should have been different, more of today's standing. <br /><br />I think that a contemporary language would have made the story a bit more, uniquely hers (or something along those lines). I never thought something like that would bother me, but oh well. I still enjoyed the book and Eulberg's added differences to change the storyline slightly were lovely. Great review Jenny, your reviews are always so eloquent and beautiful!<br /><br />Jen<br /><a href="http://www.intheclosetbibliophile.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">In the Closet With a Bibliophile</a>Jen (@ Jens Book Closet)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02339586413882184139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-36950109811688228312011-04-12T19:37:11.360-04:002011-04-12T19:37:11.360-04:00I've never read the original P&P (terrible...I've never read the original P&P (terrible, I know) so I won't really have anything to compare this one to, but I do want to check it out.
