Have you ever not been able to finish a book? If so, why?
I unfortunately was not able to finish Pride and
Prejudice in Space despite multiple attempts.
I love Pride and Prejudice and science fiction so I thought this would
be the perfect book for me. Alas, it did
not capture my attention as there was not any world building. Instead, there was text straight from the
original Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen interspersed with a bit of interstellar
travel. Why are the humans of the future
speaking in Regency jargon and having balls in space? I don’t know!
It didn’t quite make sense to me.
The illustrations were beautiful, but I was hoping for an engaging and
unique Pride and Prejudice variation set in space and did not find it.
This was my "crazy" variation read for the November JASNA Northwoods Book Club.
