Not my cup of tea....

So.... how often can one repeat that Lizzy is very special, has all the admiration, the ONE woman to understand more complex problems, humble, unassuming, rare ability this and that, natural beautiful, witty, warm, slim, unique, brave, selfless and so on....? Let me tell you: many, many times.

Darcy in this book is not a version I would want to date. He puts Elisabeth pretty soon on a pedestal, is controlling and jealous. And sort of unhealthily obsessed. Also without Lizzy he is dour and not very interesting. So his mood is completely dependent on her and often gets immediately angry in ridiculous non-situations. Obviously he improves within hours of the botched proposal but it is strange how Lizzy always has to make a rational case after a "no" from him even at times were they are not married to do things her way. Basically he is a walking red flag.

Both often are not able to follow conversations with other people because they are so deeply distracted from the slightest whiff of each other (because they are so attuned that they can distinguish the footsteps coming across the hall...)

The book had an interesting premise, but the endless repetitions of their deep devotions and how everybody immediately fell in love with the incredible Ms. Bennett and Darcy's repetitive inner monologue made it really hard to get through the last third.
