This is very well done and I'm enjoying it emensly. I only wish they'd gone with someone else as Mathew, Goode does a great job but he just doesn't look like how I pictured him. I love the background music, in my opinion it really is what makes or break it for me and it really sets a fabulous tone for this show. If anyone is thinking of reading the books, don't. They aren't that good. It's a GREAT plot but you can tell the author is really into history, architecture and antique furniture because there are pages AND PAGES that go on and on about it and it gets rather boring. I stopped halfway through the 2nd book because of it. Also Diana gets rather pathetic in the second book, relying too much on Mathew to do all the work. Hopefully the show keeps her as a strong and independent female lead.
