Oh yes, and her mentor in particular annoyed me, too. What was he supposed to be, and attempt to mix Mr Darcy and Mr Knightley? I doubt Mr Darcy would have taken the pains to educate Lizzy like that.

I wonder why they don't go for one of the other novels instead of doing and re-doing Pride and Prejudice, anyway. It's not as though the world would have desperately needed the last one, and she's written more than that one novel.
