The story itself was fabulous, it is such a shame it was not completed as the characters she invented for this book is hilarious. Austen's already well-developed sarcasm seem to flourish in this book. I imagine I can feel that the authoress herself had matured in this introduction to the Sanditon community. It is some aspects bolder than her previous works.
I have seen Andrew Davies' adaptation and I feel that he missed the mark somewhat in his portrait of Charlotte. She seems less naive and more perceptive in the original compared to the adaptation. With Sydney, I guess Davies was too influenced by another of Austen's heroes because Austen herself, in the little description to be had, called Sidney good-looking and lively of countenance...
Recommend the book but you should choose another edition with less formatting issues....more
