I originally read this in middle school, when I first discovered Pride and Prejudice and immediately began trying to read through all the Jane Austen's I could find. Northanger Abbey was a real disappointment to me. Oddly enough, the satire that I recognized so easily in P&P went completely over my ...
When I was half way through Northanger Abbey I was thinking:“Upon my word! Half way through the book and nothing notable seems to have transpired!

This is my final Jane Austen book - the only one I hadn't read. It's definitely not up with my top three (Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Persuasion), but at the same time I did really like it.

I'm not going to fully review this, because like with most Austen's I feel like I need to read it twice before I'm really ready to tear it apart.

What is with me and Jane Austen? I liked this book, mostly for the parts that are a parody of Gothic novels. I like Gothic novels, don't misunderstand but it shows how perception has an effect on our minds. Catherine expected visiting the Abbey to be like the Gothic novels she's so found of, so she ...
