'The Edge of Reason' was not-so-loosely based on another Jane Austen novel, 'Persuasion,' but any overt Austen references are completely wiped out here. The first book was not-so-loosely based on Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice.' The first movie left a lot of that in, and even included a lot of 'inside jokes' for those of us who are familiar with that delightful book and the filmed version starring Colin Firth as Fitzwilliam Darcy. It's hard to put my finger on why - because I'm not quite sure why some of the book's original plot lines were ommitted, and because I thought the Rebecca subplot was gratuitous - but I did like it. The first movie was better.īut, oddly enough, I still liked this version of The Edge of Reason.
Reviewed by Julie-30 7 / 10 The book was better.
