Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld
2.0

Hmmm interesting

I'd rate it 2.5 stars. I think a modern day, realistic perspective on this family was difficult for me to appreciate the characters and the story line. I love Pride and Prejudice! Jane Austen is one of my favorite authors... it's a classic. With that said, I don't think the writing was bad or the character growth and the build up. I think I really loved the original.

This is not a bad story. The writing is good as well as the characters and storyline. It's just not for me.
