5.0 out of 5 stars More of Austen, 12 Sep 2002
By A Customer
For those who have enjoyed those few precious novels written by Jane Austen herself, 'Sanditon' provides the perfect opportunity to return to her world. The story itself, while only being started by the great author is beautifully continued so that it is difficult to tell when Austen stops writing and the more recent author begins. The characters prove to be as interesting as those crafted by Austen herself and the plot twists as fascinating. The story itself focusses on a seaside resort called Sanditon, where the love lives of a collection of characters become somewhat entangled and confused. It may not be Austen but it was close enough to make it impossible to put the book down until I had read the last page.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, in MY opinion!, 13 Aug 2002
By K. L. Holt "Karenlee" (Utrecht Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Oh, I thought this was delightful, and I am a very big Austen fan. The only reason I gave it just four stars was because one character's machinations in getting certain people to walk and (later in a following chapter) ride together in particular groups, was described in a bit too much tedious detail. That and the fact that certain things toward the end were not indeed, developments I think Austen would have put in her books, or have had her characters done. Aside from that, it was a wonderfully intriguing and entertaining story that kept pulling me on in true Janian fashion, knowing that our heroine would surely get together with her hero, but intensely curious HOW it would all be arranged. And unlike some of the other reviewers, I found the flow of language and style to be quite Austen-like, even down to the witty kind of passages and dialogue in which what particular people say 'expose' them and their characters most delightfully...

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Tale, 6 Jun 1999
By A Customer
I loved this book. The characters were well developed and intriguing. The setting was charming and apropos. You couldn't really tell that Austen didn't finish this book, except perhaps toward the end. But I stayed up late to finish it and loved every page.

1.0 out of 5 stars Completed, yes, but certainly not by Miss Austen!
The dividing line between the work of Miss Austen and the work of the other person who worked on this book is far too obvious. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars enjoyable
I always feel that a book which is completed by a different author to the one who began it, is just one reeader's view of what happens next. Read more
