Author: Jane Austen & Juliette Shapiro
The unfinished manuscript of Austen's finished off by a contemporary author.
Not so good. Jane was off her game or hadn't had a chance to revise the beginning, for the first 3 or 4 chapters dragged without an appropriate heroine on which to pin our hopes. I would like to read the actual Austen manuscript and see just how bad it was. After all, Lady Susan also pretty much sucked, so we know she could write crap.
Best part was the missing ham and silver soup ladle that disappeared with the runaway chambermaid and butler. I love details like that.
