Keeping the Castle

This had a slow start and parts of it seemed to drag. The characters were fun and it was quite humorous in a dry way. It felt like a little like... Much ado about nothing and Pride and Prejudice.
Any book that makes me laugh on the first page, can't be all bad, right? And for the most part, it's not. Lots of humor, lots of silliness, and lots of fluff. There aren't enough pages for much plot development, which leaves the characters more two dimensional than anything else. Most of the time, there wasn't enough information there for me to decide whether to like a character or not.
I'm not a fan of Jane Austen (the movies, yes. The books on the other hand I find to be long winded.) so I did enjoy how Kindl poked fun at Austen's classics.
