Wow, do I love the illustrations in this book!  Sharing this story with my daughter, we both enjoyed reading about Sammy's adventures and meeting all his new friends. The book was interesting enough to keep both of our attention, but not too scary for a young audience. We wanted to story to go on and on!

Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!!!!!

Okay, I see where this was going.  Bring Pride and Prejudice up to the 21st Century, expand on the characters and how they would fit into the modern world, and keep it light.  My first confession is that I hate reality dating shows.  The Bachelor and it's spin offs make me uncomfortable and sad.  My second confession is that Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite books of all time.  So, that being said, the combination of the two just didn't work for me.  The characters became caricatures.  The underlying tensions and romance in the original became farce in this book.  Nice try, but I couldn't quite buy into this adaption.

OH MY GOODNESS... I just realized that Littenfeld wrote one of my favorite books of all time, American Wife.  American Wife made the rounds to all my friends and family and was the must read of the year.  I have so much angst about the above review now, but it was my honest opinion before I realized Lettenfeld's body of work before this was soooo impressive.
