Book Description:
"Ten thousand a year and a large estate in Derbyshire!" That was all Mrs. Bennet desired to know of Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy before she began to entertain hopes that one of her daughters would attract his attention. In Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen reveals little of her creation's past or present before banishing him for quite two thirds of her book. But, who is Fitzwilliam Darcy?
An Assembly Such as This, the first book of the Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman trilogy, answers that intriguing question by taking the reader into Darcy's world, a world very different from Elizabeth Bennet's. Chronicling Darcy's supervision of his naive friend Charles Bingley and his growing fascination with Elizabeth Bennet, it culminates with the disastrous ball at Netherfield and Darcy's return to London with the express intention of forgetting Elizabeth amidst the dizzying and dangerous whirl of Regency society.

I could not finish this book. I found it very boring and completely agree with other reviewers who say that the author turned Darcy into a teen-aged girl. They couldn't have said it better.

I was skeptical to read this after reading a horrible fan fiction about what happened after Darcy and Elizabeth got married but the high ratings of this book pulled me in and I'm so glad they did! This book was truly delightful to read and contained all of the witty conversations between Darcy and Elizabeth from Austen's P&P.

Though this is by no means a great book, I did enjoy reading it. I enjoyed how the author fleshed out the relationship between Darcy and his cousin, Col. Fitzwilliam, and it's nice to meet some of his friends as well. Aiden spends a lot of time on the relationship between Darcy and his servants however. Okay, so he had servants, but if Aiden had truly been keeping with the tradition of P&P she would have relegated them to the background like Austen did. I admit to getting really tired of Darcy's ...

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a young woman in possession of a good intellect must be in want of Mr Darcy for a husband. I have not found that Pride and Prejudice can be reread too many times, but Pamela Aidan provides a diverting variation in an 'authentically' 3-volume rewrite from the perspective of Mr Darcy.
Unfortunately, the novel's Austenian format is not quite matched by its contents. The first problem is plot motivation. Austen's novel has a reason for existing: ... Read More

I absolutely LOVED this trilogy! I wasn't too worried about how similar it would be to Jane Austen, because obviously no one will probably ever come close to emulating her. Saying that, I thought all three books were very entertaining. The second one gets a bit boring, but it's worth it once you get to the third one.
I would highly recommend this series to anyone who wants to see the other side of the coin.
