Customer Reviews

Reggie's story is delightful
I first read "Master Under Good Regulation" as fan fiction. When it was published I knew I had to add it to my book collection. It is a delightful retelling of Pride and Prejudice. It is Reggie,Darcy's dog, who relates the events leading up to the ultimate happy ending. Kara Louise's stories are all enjoyable, I have yet to read anything of hers that has not delighted me. This is a must buy for the Austen addict.

way better than I expected
I was a little leary of this book: A dog's point of view?! BUT, I thought it was very well done and, once again, showed a different side of Darcy and his past that we can only conjecture. I strongly recommend this to add to anyone's collection who is still in love with Mr Darcy.

Austen's story told by a dog
Unlike a lot of books about the story of Pride and Prejudice, this one actually follows the plot of the book rather than alternate versions from movies or TV. By using the dog as a narrator, the author can concentrate the story on the things that Jane Austen left out and just give a quick summary of incidents that are in the original. This makes the story more interesting than if it was too exactly like the original book. My only objection to this book is that the author should have used modern English rather than using phony Regency language like "whilst" over and over.
