So far a great book! If you liked Persuasion by Jane Austen you will like this one just as much!

Recently read several Jane Austin books again(which are practically free on Kindle). This was my surprise favorite. How tastes change beyond our teens.

Although one of the earliest works of Jane Austen, still unmistakenly identifiable for her witty and lively style.at times too innocent at times to predictable, but nonetheless an enjoyable reading!

Ending is too neat and tidy. Mind you, this _is_ Jane.

You may find Northanger Abbey very interesting if you are into satirical storylines. Catherine Morland is a 17 years old heroine who also loves Gothic novels, that is the reasons why she brought along lots of funny and fantastical horror at Northanger Abbey. It is Austin's first novel - not the kind of romantic "Pride and Prejudice" but full of lively effusions and humours. However, the book about Allen's family accompanying Catherine to Bath for season of balls and social delights to meet wealthy young man, or the General Tilney's refusal of his son's proposal to poor Catherine can resembles' Austin's series.

The one she wrote first got published last. Northager Abbey is many people's favorite Austen since it's the great turning point away from Gothic. The heroine is frightened when visiting her boyfriend's family's home. He ridicules her terror about a, well, Murder Room, and as it turns out, the heroine is right: the boyfriend's father has rejected her as in his own mind too financially poor.

I really liked the first part of the book when all the characters were in Bath. Austen was pretty funny in describing the foibles of the rich. Once the action (if that's what you can call it in a Jane Austen book) moved to Northanger Abbey the best part was the heroine's suppositions about the dark secrets of the house. I thought the ending was rather insipid.

I thoroughly enjoyed the melodrama, romance and the style of writing. I looking forward to read more of Jane Austen's works.
