Ha!  Gotcha to look!

But, almost seriously, I read the first few pages and took it back to the library.  Hey, I've only read three of Miss Austen's novels (P&P, S&S and Northanger Abbey), so I'm sure this book would have spoiled the rest of them for me.  Right?  Besides, I assumed that I wouldn't understand most of what they're talking about until I read all of them AND I didn't want their comments to color my interpretation of the characters.

BESIDES, they made fun of the Gramercy edition of "The Complete Novels of Jane Austen".  Hey, I OWN that book!  I also have an older copy of P&P which got me started loving Jane Austen, but when I had a few dollars and saw that I could get "The Complete Novels" from an eBay store for only $8 (Including shipping) I jumped at the chance to have all of her works on my shelf.

Otherwise, I'm sure it's a fine book. =0>

The book was a dissappointment.  Some loved it... but I just don't dig that kind of book.

I have a feeling it's not "my thing" either.  Thanks for your input.  It may save me having to read it.  I think I have enough books to read already! 

I thought I would really like it.  Heh, not so much.  It was awful.  I finished it, but only because I can't not finish a book.  But really, what a horrible rip off of one of the greatest writers ever.

I saw the movie it was a "feel good" movie, very likely a chick flick,  and you don't have to know a lot about JA's books to enjoy the movie.  It inspired DH (he likes romantic movies) to get me the paperback of all her novels for my birthday. I can't wait to finish the book I'm reading so I can do a JA marathon!

I don't think I would enjoy the Jane Austen Book Club novel though...it's probably too fluffy for me.

Adding: I think seeing Becoming Jane really  helped for me to enjoy the JABC movie.

It was nice fluff, I liked it just fine.

I started it and I just could not get into it. I took it back to the library unread too;)

One of the few examples where the movie was better than the book.
