"Northanger Abbey" by Jane Austen

02.01.08 to 02.24.08 ....Eh. That's it - eh. This books was no Pride and Prejudice. Rather slow, I am ever so thankful that the book was relatively short. Miss Catherine was rather mousy even when it came to see her new best friend was selfish, obnoxious and annoying. The obnoxious characteristic of Miss Thorpe was one of the main reasons I hated Emma. Austen has a knack for creating characters you either immensely love or truly hate. So it was odd to feel totally indifferent to Miss Catherine. Even when Mr. Tilney's cruelty was at its height, the story fell short of holding my interest that's why it took so long for me to read.

If you are a true fan of Jane Austen, read the book. If your looking for something interesting to read select something else.
