Welcome to the discussion on Mitzi Szereto's Pride and Prejudice: Hidden Lusts (in which the lusts don't stay hidden very long at all.)
Have you done your homework with the excerpts above?
Have you done your homework with the excerpts above?
I did read the excerpt, and I found it incredibly entertaining. I must admit, I have never even read Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen. Do you think someone who hasn't read the original work would still enjoy Hidden Lusts on its own merit?

I think so. It is written well enough that you shouldn't have to read the original. It carries itself.

I think it might be very interesting to read this book, and then read the original for the first time. I almost wish I were still n Austen virgin!

I'm about halfway through the book and loving it. I love how there ate so many individual stories while they also tie in to one big story. Also love the variety of sexual acts, sexual preferencrs, kink, and self discovery throughout the book

Hey Sam!
Thank you sexy.
By homework y'all mean reading the book, right? I did not do that but I did read a couple reviews. I wish I had read it though. Sounds good and I love the original Austen. Mr. Darcy...mmm...

Just reading the excerpts here and what Ivy included in her great review, I could see that the author put a lot of effort in capturing the feel of the writing style of the time. I really respect that.

And Hi everyone! I'm already falling behind.

I really enjoyed the writing itself. I loved the contrast between the overly polite language and the incredibly raunchy sex acts it was describing. A delicious dichotomy.

Actually, I just meant that your homework was reading the excerpt above, and maybe the reviews. It'd be interesting, though, to know who's read the whole book.

I'm a few chapters in (still, bad, I know) and I'm having a hard time with it. As I'm reading it I keep getting the feeling that I'm reading a fanfiction and I have a hard time remembering that it's a parody and not supposed to be completely serious. I am enjoying the "old world" language, but some of it just seems a wee bit over the top to me and losing the touch that would keep it more realistic (in my opinion) is what makes it hard for me to see it as much more than a fan fic.

You did a really good job describing this in your review, and it's the biggest reason I'm going to have to buy Hidden Lusts after October's over.

I am curious about who, here is a big Jane Austen fan and who is just interested in this particular book because it's erotica...

I liked that in some of the stories from Carnal Machines as well. Never has the word "culminate" sounded so dirty!

Do you think that having read the original Austen detracted or added to reading the Hidden Lusts take on it?

I have been out of town but have scanned over the book and had to stop in a few places and read the juicy details. I will be able to catch up completely over the end of this week.

I am a ginormous Austen fan, especially of Pride and Prejudice in particular. And the BBC miniseries with Colin Firth, ofc. I assume everyone also knows Bridget Jones is also based on P&P?

I've never read the original. I guess partially because I thought it would probably be too dry. So I would be more inclined to read this book just because I would imagine it's not nearly as dry.
