Reviews of the Book
I'm going to start with a policy of linking to every review I can find of Mrs Darcy versus the Aliens, whether complimentary or not. However, I retain the right to diverge from this in the event of an absolute stinker appearing somewhere.
I won't link to individual reviews on Amazon or Goodreads, because I'm sure you can navigate your way around those just as well as I can. Other reviews are broken down into the following categories: magazines and other periodicals, YouTube, bloggers and miscellaneous.
Here goes.
Magazines and other Periodicals
June Gundlack in Issue 12 of The Pages definitely likes it, as does Rhian Bowley for the British Fantasy Society.
However, Hilde Heyvaert in the 21st and final edition of The Gatehouse Gazette may have been expecting a different book altogether. Never mind.
YouTube
Amy McLean gives the book an enthusiastic thumbs up:
(in fact, she's done a written review, too)
Stevie Finegan is also very enthusiastic:
Bloggers
Tania Hershman isn't sure if she's going to like it but ends up giggling and chortling.
Cassandra Parkin, in a stupendously thorough review, definitely likes it.
Maryom at Our Book Reviews gives it five stars and says it's a ‘must read’.
Camille Gooderham Campbell makes it her recommendation for the 2011 Advent Book Blog and says she loved it and couldn't put it down.
Hard Luxe Living gives the book top billing in a joint review with another Pride and Prejudice sequel by someone called P D James (no, me neither), describing it as a sequel of some spunk and originality with a lot of chortling guaranteed.
Diary of a Domestic Goddess declares it a fun read.
Miscellaneous
This is probably my favourite review of all, from the lady who used to babysit our kids. She's in her eighties, in case you were wondering if there was any age limit on enjoyment of the book.
Finally, here are a couple of very complimentary tweets from John Harding, who wrote the wonderful "Florence and Giles".
