Amanda Grange has made quite the career out of writing the hero's perspective from Jane Austen novels. Captain Wentworth is the hero of Persuasion, a naval captain who has risen through rank and wealth to eventually persuade his first and only love Anne to marry him. There is nothing of literary significance here. It's fluff - Austen fan fiction with a publisher. I've now read this and Mr. Darcy's Diary. Both are a solid OK = 2 stars. While that wouldn't normally have me reading anything else

I knew this was a risk, and it might have paid off a little better had I just been determined enough to skip the first section altogether, once I found it wasn't going well. Instead, I skipped to the second part (which pretty much starts where Persuasion does), read and enjoyed that, and then went back to the beginning. Even though the author doesn't stick closely enough to the original in every particular to suit me, the need to fit what she's writing in with actual dialogue does keep Wentworth

I read Darcy's Diary by the same author last year and thought it was "okay". I think this one works better for a couple of reasons, but my grumble is it's written in diary form, but there is a vast amount of direct speech used throughout, particularly in the latter half. A lot of this is lifted straight from the original, and lets face it, if you're reading this you'll probably be pretty familiar with the original text anyway. No-one writes a diary using direct speech, so maybe it needs a

I really liked this book! I love this story and Captain Wentworth is one of my favorite characters. It was fun reading the story through his eyes.

A most diverting novel in which I get to spend time with my second favorite Austen man, Captain Wentworth. Persuasion is my second favorite Austen novel and Grange has allowed me to bask in the heartache of loved denied for eight years. Other than being a rewrite of Austen, nothing terribly original, but like I said, extremely diverting. If nothing else, she gets credit for paying attention to an Austen novel other than Pride and Prejudice, as every other Austen genre novel seems to do.

I understand that this book was written as a "companion" of sorts for Persuasion, but this book lacked so many things that I almost did not finish it. While reading this book I don't think that for one moment I believed it was written from Wentworth's point of view. This whole book read like a drivel written by a teenage fanfiction writer. There was none of that strength of character that made Wentworth a good character originally. Also the plot progression and the depiction of scenes were just

Right so Captain Wenthworth's diary where do I begin....I absoultey loved it. Firstly cause Amanda Grange made me fall in love with Wentworth all over again from the beginning to end. Amanda completely captures Wentworth and it literally once again feels as if he is your head the whole time while he is writing. Its so amazing what a diary can do to understand the character a little bit more better I think. Amanda Grange gets into his feelings what he is feeling at first sight to when he is
