(e)Book – Love and friendship

  (e) Book –  Love and friendship Full title :  Love and friendship and other early works Author : Jane Austen Score : /10 Year : 1790 (original) ; 2012 (this edition) Publisher : Duke Classics   ISBN  978-1-62012-155-9  // 9781620121559  (ebook)  Pages :  Language: English Jane Austen is best known for her 6 novels, which all have been adapted into tv movies - but after having read Virginia Woolf's short fiction in chronological order, I decided to apply the same for Austen's publications, to better appreciate her growth and evolution in narrative style. So, before reading her novels which were released from 1811 to 1817, in the following order :  Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma,  Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, I decided to go back to her teenage years, reading Love and Friendships, and other early works.

Very little interest in this pseudo-thriller, albeit not always predictable.
An investigator hired by a rich man to follow his wife which he suspects is cheating on him... Not the most inventive story ; I have to say, even tho you know ahead of time what's gonna happen, it happens in an unexpected way...

ex-Beverly Hills 90210 actor Luke Perry just cannot find roles to suit him, or is he just a plain bad actor ? I cannot say for certain as I haven't seen much of him at all.

I really disliked the camera clicking sounds just to show us the results of each shot Michael Nash (Luke's character) takes... quite annoying, i must say.

Gloria Reuben's hot, in an odd way.

There is some nudity, as to be expected from a thriller.
Not much blood, which is cool for me & other sensitive people.

The music wasn't my cup of tea, either, so total score for this poor thriller is 2/10 for the few good points in it, but that's all...
