Quick fun read. Good for the beach, or a Saturday morning during the winter. Has synopsis' of Austen's books. Interesting, though simple characters. Guess the focus was on Austen more than the book club members.

I really enjoyed this book...six people are a part of an Austen-all-the-time book club. Through reading Jane Austen's six books, the book club members reveal more of themselves to the reader. As a lover of Jane Austen's work, I enjoyed reading this book...if nothing else, it made me want to read Austen's classics once again!

Even though I've only read one Jane Austen book I really enjoyed this book. It was well written and the characters were likable.Unlike other books I've read centered around book groups the characters were easy to keep track of and their lives were interwined which made the book flow together.

This was a fun quick read. Especially good if you happen to know all the Jane Austen books, but the author includes a synopsis of each book along with all kinds of interesting commentary.

Very cute and interesting for such a short read. I found that I was very invested in the characters extremely quickly. I love the conversations about Jane Austen's books too.

Even though I knew nothing about Jane Austen, I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and the stories of the individuals portrayed within.

A witty meditation on how the books we shoose, choose us too.

Fowler does so terrific a job of bringing her characters to life that Austen's work falls away like a husk. It's an impressive feat of homage, since Fowler essentially borrows Austen's great themes...and makes them her own.

A must read for any Jane Austin fan. I was disappointed with how little Jane Austin was really in the story, but it's a fun read anyway.
