“I'm reading this book because it's the only Jane Austen book I haven't read yet. And Masterpiece Theater on PBS is showing movies of all Jane Austen's book, so I wanted to get this one in before it shows this Sunday. Anyone else watching the Jane Austen series?So far I'm really liking the book.”
“Well I am re reading this book after realising belatedly that it is a parody on the gothic novel. That she is poking fun at it although her rant in the middle about people who don't read novels seemed a little strange to me. ”
“Hey Paula, this is Rebecca's friend Erika from church - hope you are doing well! Would you recommend this book - did you like it a lot?”
“Northanger Abbey is by no means Austen's best novel, but it is still a worthwhile read. Stay away from the horrible/lousy movie that was made in the 80s. This is a book that should be made into a movie, but something closer to the book, not some horror film. The book itself is interesting in that you can see Austen's writing mature between this book and her later novels.”
