All I can say is YAY me I finished reading a different book outside of the Twilight saga!!!!

OK, so I agree with you Shimmerskin and notsoruthless, about Parr and Julia being more comparable to Edward Farras and Eleanor Dashwood than Darcy and Elizabeth. I loved their sheer good nature! They were so loyal and kind to their friends and others in general, what a fun read. (But, I find that I too enjoy the bad boy image in fictional novels more intriguing. In real life I don't think that I would be quite so drawn to Edwads temper as I am while reading it ! I can't wait to get some more darkness out of MS, I also hope Robert gets to read more of MS to get his character right in the movie!)

I also thought of Chris as a Whiloughby at first rather than Wickam, but I think Wickam suits him better. But how funny thtat they both begin with a "W".

I thought Seth was very sweet. I didn't get the creepy vibe from him like Mr. Collins. He had a bit of Mike Newton in him, just being persistant. He gave up much more easily though in the end. I thought he was a good guy, just not the right guy for Julia.
