Book Review of The Jane Austen Book Club

The Jane Austen Book Club
reviewed on + 32 more book reviews


I got this book through paperbackswap.com and decided to move it to the top of my to be read pile since I noticed my sister wanted to read it too. So, I tried to get through this quickly so I could give it to her over Christmas when we would see each other. I enjoyed the novel, even though it's been years since I read my last Austen novels, so I was quite happy to have the synopses of each Austen book in the back. That being said, I didn't feel that you needed to be fully intimate with each book to appreciate the novel, though I'm sure devotees of Miss Austen will have a deeper appreciation. The characters were interesting (Allegra was my favorite), and I found myself somewhat involved with them, though it wasn't a novel that will impress itself on you. It was a light read for me, but I hope my sister enjoys it!
