I was really disappointed with this book. First, and most importantly, I had NO idea that it was based on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, despite the male protagonist's name being Darcy. I didn't really read the synopsis found online when I purchased this book, but instead read the synopsis on the book itself, which fails to mention a Jane Austen inspiration.This whole story fell flat, even though the actual storyline sounded very interesting. The characters were all very contrived and unconvincing. It felt like they were playing a part in a play and all they did was memorize the lines that they would recite automatically. The "ball" scene with Darcy, the "rain" scene where he declares his love for her, the best friend falling in love with her closest friend and then suddenly backing off, all of it just made me cringe so much, because it was done in an amateurish and disbelieving way.The story with the book that changes events and the different creatures (fairies, fauns etc.) was just...weird. I did stick with it because I wanted to see how it ends and I was definitely curious about the disappearance of Darcy's sister, but honestly...in a few weeks, I probably won't remember much of this book. It will be forgotten, just like the book this whole story revolves around.Shame. I went into it with very high expectations.
I usually shy away from translations but the book description was too much to resist. Whoever did the translation did an absolutely amazing job. The English is very colloquial, contemporary, and clever—none of the awkward, stilted prose you find in so many translations. I’d never have guessed this was translated. Story-wise, it reminded me of Harry Potter and Gail Carriger’s Finishing School series. I’m not really a Jane Austen fan, but thanks to my wife, I’ve endured every version of Pride and Prejudice known to man. The Jane Austen touches were subtle but evident. My only complaint is that it got a bit too talky at the end and I’d like to have seen more of the everyday school life at Stolzenburg, and a more thorough understanding of the supernatural elements. But perhaps there will be a sequel...
I feel the cover art makes this book appear a bit more “fluffy†than it is. Equal parts dark, mysterious, relatable, intriguing and current. My only comment would be it wrapped up a bit quick concerning one element of the mystery but other than that, the plot unfolded very organically. You’ll devour this book in a weekend!
Slow moving, predictable, not for me. The story and characters had real potential but it just fell flat. The cover is lovely, however, and feels great to hold in your hands. Looks lovely on the bookshelf, if that’s what you’re going for.
I read The Forgotten Book first from my Public Library and fell in love with this story. I ordered this and the Book Jumper, to read with my 10 year old daughter!
GREAT book after book 1 mystical
As The Forgotten Book has a line in its own synopsis saying it's a Jane Austen inspired story, I was on the lookout for that. I'm not sure I'd say there's any one Austen book that this one was inspired by because I saw elements of several. There's the overreaching one (Pride & Prejudice, of course) and some elements of Emma, such as some characteristics that The Forgotten Book Emma shared with Austen Emma, as well as her friend Hannah standing in for Harriet Smith. There's also a writer the girls talk about named Eleanor Morland whose surname is the same as that of the heroine of Northanger Abbey.An overused sort of line that I found unnecessarily repetitive was how, in the first few chapters, Emma was saying that her world was going to change the next day or how little did she know that everything was about to change. Those lines, with little to no difference between them, cropped up several times in the beginning of the book and it was an annoyance to hear them repeated so often and in such close proximity to the previous one.One thing I want to point out is that there are scenes of teenagers drinking, the main character to the point of drunkenness in one, and if you miss anything, do not forget that this book takes place in Germany and was originally written in German. The legal drinking age in Germany, as far as beer and wine goes, is 16. I admit that I forgot about the setting and was surprised by this, but a quick search revealed it's not the same as in the U.S. (my home country).I've never finished an Austen novel, but from what I have read, I have to say I could see similarities in the writing style then and in Glaser's here with The Forgotten Book, such as the social commentary and the heroine observing everything and everyone about her. Imitating a similar style and elements from some of Austen's books, there was still a lot of her own voice within the book, from the events that Emma participated in and instigated, as well as the modern air that translates well in this current reading experience.While there were some pacing issues, I was able to get round those rather quickly and settle down to enjoy the story. I'd recommend this book not only to fans of Glaser's The Book Jumper, but of classic Austen novels as well, plus anyone that loves a good fantasy adventure.I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
