I just read this, and I didn't like it. Am posting this in hopes that all the JA fans here will enlighten me to its merits.
I found Marianne, Colonel Brandon and Willoughby all very one dimensional. Marianne was a stereotypical daydreamy, irrational girl: is she really so fragile that elinor has to shelter her 24/7? Colonel Brandon was "too good to be true" magnanimous, and Willougly too transparent a cad and villain. Lucy too blatantly shallow. Plus, what was the use of having Margaret around as a little sister when her character was never developed? And Colonel Brandon to fall in love with Marianne just because she reminds him of his old love? The brother and sister in law too. And that quick ending for Elinor and Ed.
I find it a very commonplace story.
