Pride and Prejudice and... vampires?
Dear HarperCollins:
Stop trying to capitalize on a the popularity of a certain teen vampire romance by trying to turn a perfectly good Jane Austen novel in Twilight Pride and Prejudice (aka Sparkly Mr. Darcy). It's embarrassing for all of us:
And don't get me started on your blurb:
"Darcy had never been so bewitched by any woman as he was by her."
With all the forces of the world conspiring to keep Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet apart, how will fate manage to bring them together? It certainly won't be easy if they're fighting it every step of the way. But theirs is a love that was meant to be, despite all the odds against them.
One of the most captivating love stories of all time, Jane Austen's enduring masterpiece is beloved by generation after generation. Beautifully presented for a modern teen audience, this is the must-have edition of a timeless classic.
You might be selling it a bit hard, there, considering that there aren't many emotional outpourings in Austen's social satire.
I think you should have gone with the zombies.
Sincerely,
ARGH!
