Interpretation In Pursuance Of Books The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet (The Lizzie Bennet Diaries)
Based on the Emmy Award–winning YouTube series The Lizzie Bennet Diaries.Twenty‑four‑year‑old grad student Lizzie Bennet is saddled with student loan debt and still living at home along with her two sisters—beautiful Jane and reckless Lydia. When she records her reflections on life for her thesis project and posts them on YouTube, she has no idea The Lizzie Bennet Diaries will soon take on a life of their own, turning the Bennet sisters into internet celebrities seemingly overnight.
When rich and handsome Bing Lee comes to town, along with his stuck‑up friend William Darcy, things really start to get interesting for the Bennets—and for Lizzie’s viewers. But not everything happens on‑screen. Lucky for us, Lizzie has a secret diary.
The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet takes readers deep inside Lizzie’s world and well beyond the confines of her camera—from the wedding where she first meets William Darcy to the local hangout of Carter’s bar, and much more. Lizzie’s private musings are filled with revealing details about the Bennet household, including her growing suspicions about her parents’ unstable financial situation, her sister’s budding relationship with Bing Lee, the perils of her unexpected fame, and her uncertainty over her future—and whom she wants to share it with.
Featuring plenty of fresh twists to delight fans and new readers alike, The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet expands on the web series phenomenon that captivated a generation and reimagines the Pride and Prejudice story like never before.

4th re-read:I would love more follow-ups with this cast/re-telling... Lydia's book was awesome but I want more! Nothing more to say that I haven't said already:) Check this one out!---Thank you my book friends for making me smile and laugh during my funk *hugs for all*Side note: extra fun if you read this and watch the videos that correspond with different parts. :-D---Once again, big smiles on my face reading this :) Even more fun now that I can picture the people playing them in my head andI didn't read this when it first came out because I was under the mistaken impression that it was a novelization of Lizzie's YouTube vlogs. I was completely wrong. This is a behind-the-scenes look at Lizzie's vlogs and her private thoughts on events. You get more of the Bennet parents and see what they're really like, get to meet Lizzie's advisor Mrs. Gardiner (nice allusion there) and of course experience the romance!!! I could NOT put this book down. The story sucked me in as much as the
Witty, clever, and very, very fun. I wasn't sure, originally, whether there would be any point in reading a novelization of the webseries, since after all the series was based on a different book (one I've re-read SO many times) - but I was wrong. This is done so well, and it's so much more than a novelization of what happens in the webseries. It's actually a major expansion, with tons of other stuff going on behind the scenes, and it's made me start a new re-watch of the webseries with that
See more reviews at YA Midnight Reads4.5 starsThis is, hands down, the most pleasant surprise I've had this year. And by that I mean HOLY S**T I NEVER KNEW THIS BOOK EXISTED UNTIL I GOT IT IN THE MAIL *DIES*. If anyone doesn't know why I was so excited, SHAME ON YOU. This book, is basically the transcript/book version of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, a webseries on YouTube that was created by Hank Green and Bernie Su (author of this book.) And there was no doubt that this would be anything but
The book is a very interesting and engrossing companion novel to the "Lizzie Bennet Diaries." However, it does not hold up as a separate novel, independent of the web series (which the author purports to be an aim of the novel in the author's note). The writing comes off bit lazy---especially when there are whole script pages co-opted to fill in as scenes in the book. Often chapters start with odd, middle-of-the-scene beginnings because the real action is shown in the web series. While I enjoyed
Im a bit back and forth on this one in my mind. I love all things Jane Austen and while this wasnt as good as the original, (obviously) I for the most part enjoyed it. The hard part in a fan fiction type adaption, much the same as a sequel telling the same story but from an alternating point of view, is the challenge to hold a readers interest. I mean, its not like there are going to be any significant surprises. I pretty much know what is going to happen.In this book, I often found myself (I
Absolutely fantastic! A must have for any Lizzie Bennet fan :) If you want more detail, more behind the scenes information, more insight into Lizzie's head, then this is the book for you. The Secret Diary Of Lizzie Bennet takes you into the world of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, with her characteristic humour and snark and perspective on the world and the events that go on around her. You don't even necessarily need to watch the video series to love and enjoy this book because it follows that
