Certainly quirky. The uniqueness of the adapted setting and plot development is interesting and funny, but there were moments that could have used more information regarding the circumstances of the setting and some indication of the overarching fishy issue would have been nice. There didn't have to be a resolution, but some idea of what is ahead would be nice. Also,paloverdepages's review against another edition

Having never read the original Sense and Sensibility, I enjoyed this book, markedly more than I think I would have enjoyed the original text. That being said, it was just... fine. I spent a lot of time wondering how different the plot is to the original besides the obvious. I think the language was consistent throughout, so good on Winters for emulating Austen's style. I also liked the illustrations.
Moderate: Animal cruelty, Animal death, Body horror, and Blood
