I love evrything related to Jane Austen, and Pride and Prejudice is my favorite book of all times, and Mr Darcy is my fantasy man, and my favorite Mr Darcy is Colin Firth (well, as far as I know, he's everybody's favorite).
I once was just googling for P&P and Mr Darcy/Colin Firth, and came to website of Shannon Hale that had her new book Austenland. which is about a girl who's obsessed with Mr Darcy as played by Colin Firth, and it's actually ruining her love life. well, that kind of person is like me.
Anyway, I wanted to read the book, I thought this kind of book made specially for me. so I looked for it in every book store. but I couldn't find it anywhere. untill I got the audiobook, and listened to it on the way to the university.
I really enjoyed the book, maybe if I read it rather than listening to it could e much better and I would comprehend what's in it. but the audio book wasn't that bad.
It was really cool, and I wish I would go to something like an Austenland (sort of like a resort that more like living in an Austen world, inclusing costumes, manners, dances, etc.), so I was really moved of how the main character Jane was experiencing, and the gentlemen she meets, and the stories that happen all feel like Austen.
I was disappointed of the fact that it wasn't only about Colin Firth/Mr darcy, but it was more about men at the era in general. she mentioned Mr darcy only few times, and colin firth only 3 or 4 times, which is a shame, since I think I picked the book to get more of colin firth images insode my head. and then I was disappointed about the acting part, that all characters are actors. and the fact that Mr Darcy might not exist. and I still live in a fantasy, and the main characetr Jane has got over Mr Darcy, while I still hold him in my fantasy.
