Industry Reviews
"Schine sets the Austen machinery in perfect forward motion, then works some lovely modern changes, keeping the pace going at a lively clip....Spotting the similarities and differences between the early 19th century and early 21st century stories is good sport, but the greater pleasure comes from Schine's own clever girls and their awkward attempts to find happiness."
(02/14/2010)

"As Janeites navigate THE THREE WEISSMANNS OF WESTPORT, they will amuse themselves by pointing out the plot turns and dialogue cunningly reworked from SENSE AND SENSIBILITY....Both novels feature faithless, opportunistic objects of desire. True love, whether in the 19th or 21st century, is a tough proposition."
(01/30/2010)

"One hundred ninety-three years after her death, Jane Austen is still generating books, only now the books are written by other people. None is better suited to the challenge than Cathleen Schine, whose clever highbrow chick lit...has long reminded people of Austen....[T]he story is fun to read on its own, and the twists and updates on the original add another layer of mischief....The sharp-edged satire and the lowdown slapstick of the book...act as a foil for its warm emotional center..."
(02/21/2010)

"SENSE AND SENSIBILITY is transported to the world of hedge funds and infomercials in this clever, frothy novel."
