pick#pemberlittens #thewataonsreadalong. Thanks to all those that read The Watson‘s either the incomplete Jane Austen, this completing by Rose Servitova or another completing. I loved it and think it is my favorite of Austen‘s incomplete works. This books starts off so strong with many great characters. I feel Servitova did a good job with the completing. She maintained all the characters personalities and had them behave in ways that were 👇
MicrobeMom consistent with Austen‘s other writings and her early depictions of the characters. A few nit picky things about this version, the writing was not as expansion or explanatory as Austen‘s. So characters and their storylines were left lacking or incomplete, the Edward‘s just disappear, what happens with Miss Edward‘s and Robert, what about Miss Osborne and Lord Osborne, and Mr. Musgrave and Lady Osborne. Not mention Mr. Watson. Why was dying then 2y
MicrobeMom Just depressed. I have no doubt Austen would have made it a much longer novel with these characters and story lines more well developed. With that said, I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It was fun, well written, and ends in a very pleasing way. Thank you all again! And I looks forward to the next #pemberlittens read! 2y

Ruthiella Thanks for hosting! ❤️😃 I enjoyed the read along, though I agree, Austen would have created a more developed, better finessed final version. 2y
TheBookHippie I agree, Jane would have had more in-depth characters. It does make me a bit somber about it. Such a loss. Thank you for hosting! My library book needed back early so I had to speed read the last bit! 2y
julieclair I agree @TheBookHippie , a real loss that Austen couldn‘t finish it. At first, I had not planned to read the completed version, but I‘m glad I did. Thanks for doing such a great job hosting, @MicrobeMom ! 2y
eeclayton Thanks for hosting @MicrobeMom Although I read a different completion, I enjoyed your daily posts 😊 2y
