Mr. Darcy speaks from his heart Pride and Prejudice from Darcy's point of view Though tired of Society's manipulations, Darcy never thought to be enchanted by a country maiden. However, on a visit to rural Hertfordshire, Elizabeth Bennet captivates him. Lovely and vivacious, she is everything he is not, and everything he longs to have.

It takes a serious incident for his true character to shine, and for Elizabeth to learn just how valuable is… His Good Opinion

Actually 2.5 stars. This is nothing more than the author's expansion of the original with some dialog to supplement the story. It does not vary from the original in plot and events. In many cases, the story is a verbatim quote from the original. There is no what-if or new wrinkle involved, hence, not a variation or vagary in my opinion. It is Jane Austen's story supplemented by the author's additional dialog/description. Also, the book is quite long and drags if you have already read Pride and Prejudice. No need to re-read this one.Product details

His Good Opinion A Mr Darcy Novel Nancy Kelley 9780984731206 Books Reviews
This is a rewrite of Jane Austin's Pride and Prejudice, written from Mr. Darcy's point of view. I had thought I had read Pride and Prejudice, but after reading this book, I realized that I had never finished the book, although I had watched a movie. Even so, I have read several other Jane Austin books, and this book seems to have the language down rather well.
After reading several reviews by devoted Austin fans, it appears as if the lengthy sections of conversations that have such a wonderful Austin feel to them, are in fact, Austin's exact or nearly exact words. I cannot vouch one way or the other.
Overall, I was not overly impressed with the book. Some parts felt too much as if it was merely borrowing wholesale from the original book, and other parts felt forced and shallow. Some may argue that Mr. Darcy was in fact, a rich and very shallow man to begin with, and that may well be true. One thing the book did well, was show how Mr. Darcy came to face his faults and inconsistencies, and then went about to change how he thought about others and then rectified the mistakes he had made with others lives because of his pride and prejudice.
Nancy did an admirable job of rewriting the original book from a new point of view. But in doing so, she doesn't step out enough to get a good feel for her own writing ability. Those who enjoy Jane Austin books, may very well enjoy this peek into Mr. Darcy's thoughts and motives. I never felt compelled to put the book away and move to another while reading it, on the other hand, I did not stay up until late into the night finishing the book either. I think Jane Austin would have approved.
So many of my long time favorite authors have retired, I was glad to find a new favorite in this book. My husband's supper will be late tonight because I could not put down this book once I started reading. After seeing so much of the haughty Mr. Darcy (one of my favorite characters) it was such a refreshing change to see him reduced to a tongue-tied fumble-bum by what he considered a totally unsuitable woman. He broke up his friend Mr. Bingley's romance with Jane Bennet because Darcy considered her family totally unsuitable, only to fall in love with her sister Elizabeth. His pride kept him away for months, but he could not forget her. One thing that made this book so interesting was the fact it was told from the man's viewpoint and I really could not tell how Elizabeth felt. I will not say anything to spoil the ending, but will say that I have already bought the next book in the series to find out what happened to his little sister Georgiana.
Ever since the first time I read Pride and Prejudice, I have wondered what was going on behind Darcy's enigmatic expressions and silent staring and what happened during all those times he was away from Elizabeth. I know I was not the only one and I am so glad to see that someone with writing talent took up their pen to tackle this. I allowed myself to have high expectations when I realized that this Pride and Prejudice story was going to stick close to the original. I was not disappointed. Nancy Kelley's Darcy was convincing as the man whom Jane Austen wrote.
I will not summarize the plot as it is familiar to all of us, but highlight where there were differences. This one began at the point that Darcy discovers Wickham's treachery in Ramsgate with Georgiana and continues with Darcy and the Colonel trying to help Georgiana through this trouble. It takes him through his stay at Netherfield and back to London. It took us to his stay at Hunsford and what happened from his perspective and back to London and then to Pemberley for the second fateful meeting with Elizabeth and back to London to rescue Lydia. It wrapped up at Netherfield again.
Each moment is like reading a new story, but not because Darcy's perspective is so different from Lizzy's. Even knowing what would transpire, I was struck by the freshness that having silent and yet warmly sympathetic Darcy's point of view was. Kelley's Darcy felt spot on and I was so into him that at times I was irritated with Elizabeth for not seeing the good man he really was, but at the same time this story offered up such a wonderful perspective on his growth arc that I was in charity with her once again to see how she was a significant part in making him a better version of himself.
The extra time with Georgiana, Col. Fitz and even the Bingleys was just icing on the cake.
All in all, this was a fab read and I highly recommend it for all the Austeneque lovers out there and even those who tend toward being purists.
Actually 2.5 stars. This is nothing more than the author's expansion of the original with some dialog to supplement the story. It does not vary from the original in plot and events. In many cases, the story is a verbatim quote from the original. There is no what-if or new wrinkle involved, hence, not a variation or vagary in my opinion. It is Jane Austen's story supplemented by the author's additional dialog/description. Also, the book is quite long and drags if you have already read Pride and Prejudice. No need to re-read this one.
