Product Description

Historical Novels Review

"A lighthearted and sparkling rendition of the classic love
story."
B. J. Sedlock


Austenblog

"Ms. Grange manages the tricky balancing act of satisfying the
reader and remaining respectful of Jane Austen's original at the same time,
and like Miss Woodhouse herself, we are given the privilege of falling for
Mr. Knightley all over again."

4.0 out of 5 stars An engaging read, 10 Jan 2007
By S. Khazaee - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
At last some other Austen heroes are emerging from Darcy's shadows! Though the meddling Emma has appeared to attract much less popularity than the lively Miss Bennet of the "fine eyes", it is a welcome relief to turn to a rather different Austen character, whose crtical eye seems to be supported by the narrative voice, as opposed to the properly "humbled" Mr Darcy.
Mr Knightley's diary is a good read, though one might wish for a more polished style, offers some very humorous passages, which is rather unexpected from the righteous hero, and makes a valiant effort to recreate an Austenian climate throughout the telling. I enjoyed it enough to wish to go on to "Darcy's Diary", though I might have preferred a more natural masculinity in the voice of the narrator. His world seemed to be as limited to the small society around him as that of any Victorian heroine, his life consisting of mending fences, playing cards, and paying social calls. Very nice ending though, I quite warmed to the book as the story unfolded and would have been very sorry to leave it unfinished.

5.0 out of 5 stars Courtesy of Teens Read Too, 27 Dec 2007
By TeensReadToo "Eat. Drink. Read. Be Merrier." (All Over the US & Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Mr Knightley's Diary (Paperback)
Experience Jane Austen's EMMA through the eyes of her hero.

MR. KNIGHTLEY'S DIARY takes us through a year of his life as he writes about his estate life, visiting with the neighbors, dinner parties he must attend, and his daily encounters with Emma.

These encounters range from enjoyable moments, to moments where he wishes her to grow as a person, and finally to things he wishes would happen between the two of them.

If you're a Jane Austen fan or you've read EMMA, then this latest Jane Austen diary from the male perspective is a must read.

3.0 out of 5 stars An accompaniment to Emma, 5 Nov 2009
By K. Bond - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Mr Knightley's Diary (Paperback)
As a fan of Austen's novels I generally enjoy sequels of these books, if read with an open mind (and with a lower expectation of the writing style than a true Jane Austen novel) I think they can be a great way to expand on the stories we know and love. I have read Mr Darcy's Diary and found it to be a good read and was excited to read Mr Knightley's Diary as he is my favourite male Jane Austen character. The book is simple to read, as a fairly quick reader it took me about 6 hours in total. I would have liked more detail in this book and in places I felt it just copied paragraphs from the original novel with the occasional thought of Mr Knightley's interjected. I was also slightly disappointed with the tone of the book, and I felt it did not quite tie with the tone of Mr Knightley in the original novel. Having read Mr Darcy's diary I actually felt the tone of the two books was fairly similar which surprised me as the two characters are so different. In this book Mr Knightley's main occupation seems to be to take a wife (and not necessarily Emma), which did not quite sit right and seems to be quite the opposite of his attitude in the original novel, but then perhaps this is the authors attempt to provide the reader with a 'behind the scenes' feeling and to try and reveal what she sees as showing Mr Knightley's true colours. Overall I was a little disappointed and didn't feel the book stayed true to what I feel is Mr Knightley's character, but still a charming read for Austen sequel fans and a valuable accompaniment to shed a different light on to the novel Emma.
