So when I ran across this book, I had to read it. I didn't need a warrior woman but I felt like she needed to say or do something to assert herself when being mistreated, if for no other reason than to stop the mistreatment.

A Modern Day Persuasion: An Adaptation of Jane Austen's Novel

I think though, that's me imposing my own idea of modern western womanhood interfering, not the author's failing in the telling. I did find the issue of cousin, Will Elliot a little odd in the modern rendition. It felt strange that in this modern setting, cousin Will I don't care that he's twice removed would not have been courting outside of the family, chance of inheritance or no.

This is also true for Elizabeth.

The other characters all rolled with this happenstance as though it were usual which added another odd factor. It came off as arcane here but I do applaud the author for trying to work with it. I still think that Rick shouldn't need to concern himself with trying to prove to the Elliot clan that he was worthy, those people are twits. Even so, they mattered to Anne, so it was gallant of him to care. I think the author could had made more from the story As the other reviewer said This book is very badly written. Anne is nothing like the Anne Elliot Austen created.

Reward Yourself

This character is silly, annoying and quite a doormat. Rick- the Frederick Wentworth- is a cardboard character- a lifeguard turned writer how very lame! The writing is terrible too- very poor grammar and sentence construction. I have read unpublished fanfiction that is a million times better. This book is a waste of money. I wish I had read an excerpt before purchasing it. It isn't worth a cent! It was a decent read but it was as if you we're being dragged through the whole story.

A Modern Day Persuasion - Kaitlin Saunders - Austenesque Reviews

It's exactly as Persuasion but set in a modern year, which meant that instead of the characters getting in and out of carriages they got in and out of cars. There was no dimension to the story. Though not Terrible, if you want to read Persuasion, might as well stick to the original novel. One person found this helpful 2 people found this helpful. Eight years have gone by since she last saw Rick, she has never forgotten the love they shared but can the same be said for him?

At 17, Anne was told that she was too young to get married; she listened to her family instead of her heart. Eight years later, Anne's family has fallen on hard times, they place the family home on the market and a familiar name purchases the vacated residence. When Rick Wentworth suddenly reappears, the feelings she never could shake come flooding back almost instantly.

But has he forgotten the love they once shared? As a JA fanatic and an admirer of Persuasion, I was looking forward to this adaptation but I was a bit disappointed. It was a fun and easy read, which followed the exact plot of Persuasion, therein lies the problem- it was overtly predictable. I would have enjoyed it more had the author made the characters and their relationships a bit more realistic for '', thus more "A 'Modern' Day Persuasion".

Not bad but not my favorite adaptation. I was hoping that the reviews on this book were wrong, but they aren't. This is like the Lifetime movie version of Jane Austen's "Persuasion," full of fluff and silliness. Not good to read. One person found this helpful. This is so saccharine.
