A lot of fun in some parts, although the humour is more subtle and witty (like Austen's) than laugh-out-loud funny. The structure was really interesting and quite modern in hindsight, though I fear there wasn't enough in here to keep me interested all the way through! Probably could've done with being 200-300 pages shorter, but I enjoyed enough elements of the story and world to not feel **too** bored whilst reading this.
