This is possibly my favorite Jane Austen novel so far. Catherine Morland, the main character, really does let her imagination run away with her (even more that I do). When invited to a friend's family residence, Northanger Abbey, she imagines that she has stumbled right into the plot of a gothic r...
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 ...
Spirited Catherine Morland, at 17, samples the delights of Bath society, along with the pressures and betrayals that go with it, mixing with those more wealthy and educated than she is. At times her imagination runs away with her (it all gets rather gothic), but at other times, she takes things at f...
THIS IS THE WORST ROMANCE I'VE EVER READ FOR GOD'S SAKE!!! I SPENT MY TIME TRYING TO KEEP MY EYES OPENED AND MY MIND FOCOUSED, BUT I COULDN'T! Seriously, why Jane Austen...why...?The first chapter is pretty good, I was smiling the whole time and thinking "how good will be that book, awww, so good n...
I really really REALLY enjoyed this. I was surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did. The only thing that was a bit of a challenge for me was the writing style.

I liked this book much, much more than Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility. I cannot quite pin down the reason, but the difference in the balance of satire and romance might be the cause. Romance in the modern sense of the word, that is. Austen had different views: "But I could no more w...
“It is only a novel... or, in short, only some work in which the greatest powers of the mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineation of its varieties, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour, are conveyed to the world in the best-chosen languag...
The first half of this book is like watching one of those teen high school movies. And Catherine is Cher from Clueless. It's a delightful girlie romp through dances and muslin, replete with boy crushes, gossiping, and even has the bitchy popular girl. While I'm sure this book is supposed to be Liter...
