“This book was a quick read and somewhat interesting but not enough of story or climax for me to feel it was a great book.”

“An excellent story, written with good dry humour and looking at our romantic ideas and expectations - a woman's journey from huge pain and disappointment to a more realistic outlook on life. Oh, and Jane Austen plays a part in the story but you don't have to know her writing to enjoy it, I've never got further than a paragraph in an Austen novel - all I know of her stories is through TV and film adaptations :)”

“I had a lot of fun reading this book, feeling as though I was right there with the main character. A little modern Jane Austen with a dash of some Nancy Drew.”

“I really liked this book--it reminded me of my own time in England visiting the Austen spots. The story is cute, and by the end, you wish the Formidable really did exist so there could be some answers as to why so many of Jane's letters are missing. This book made me interested to find a book of Austen's letters. The ending is interesting...not exactly predictable for an Austen tale.”

“Don't know how much of the Jane Austen info in the book is based on truth, but now I'm wanting to know more about Jane!”

“So totally predictable in terms of the romance. Interesting ideas about Jane Austen Secret Societies, but the rest of it was just blah. I don't think the Adam character was necessary, even for for Emma's catharsis. I think Shannon Hale's "Austenland" was much better if you want to read a story about a woman whose obsession with all things Austen has muddled her mind and love life.”
