Clueless is a great adaptation of Emma for the same reason that BJ Diary is a great retelling of P&P! The original story lines are still visible but the characters are new and unique. <br />Thanks for stopping by Jess!

To be honest I haven't heard great things about this retelling series in general, which is a shame, but I don't think it's helped that these retellings have exactly the same titles as the originals. I'd much rather read something that's inspired by another story, like Bridget Jones's Diary being inspired by P&P and Warm Bodies being inspired by Romeo and Juliet, rather than read something that's claiming to be a direct retelling. :)Jess @ Jessticulateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03081569733749956845noreply@blogger.com
