While enjoyable, it was all-too apparent that the “Live Like Elizabeth Bennet” portion of the book depended more upon the 1995 mini-series than upon the novel. If a reader has a strong opinion of the characters that falls outside the aforementioned interpretations of them, she (pardon my glib assumption) may find herself rolling her eyes a bit. For example, I do not read the parents as caricatures who abhor each other, and, consequently, found the constant whipping of Mrs Bennet to be rather tiresome. However, the advice to take walks, write letters, and unbusy oneself was welcome and, I hope, well-taken.Product details

How to Speak Like Jane Austen and Live Like Elizabeth Bennet Your Guide to Livelier Language and a Lovelier Lifestyle edition by Kaelyn Caldwell SelfHelp eBooks Reviews
Pleasantly and creatively intertwined with characterizations of the novel, "How to Speak Like Jane Austen and live Like Elizabeth Bennet,", suggests practices, strategies and mind views for everyday living in today's world. On the surface this book reads about characters in,"Pride and Prejudice", appealing to fans of the books and movies. It is that, and much, much more!! The wisdom discoverable to readers in this thought provoking book initiates change in a DELIGHTFUL way. Demonstrating that self-help doesn't need to be painful and laborious. One excerpt from the book where I could relate to Miss Bennet was that, "Elizabeth could give her life the time and thoughtful attention it deserved...", affirms one's personal journey. This book encourages us to seek and frequent natural and beautiful surroundings and to savor them for extended periods of time because they transform and restore physically, mentally, and spiritually. Kudos to Kaelyn Caldwell who reminds us pleasantry is so worth pursuing. I think fans of Downton Abbey will also love this book.
One more (unsuccessful) attempt to cash in on the popularity of Jane Austen.
Great ebopk! Only wish I could have a hard copy of it. That would make it even better.
A fast, lighthearted, and fun read. I only wish that it was available in print.
Love it but a hard copy would make it better!
I love the part where they talk about living like Elizabeth and getting some idea of how to have a peaceful living and I can't wait to incorporate some of Jane Austen's language into my everyday speech.
Thoroughly enjoyable! This narrative gives you a way of being a part of Elizabeth Bennett's world. I just wish this was available in paperback to add to my library.
