It's probably because it is light and funny and I can relate to the silly girls.Ronnicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09545460026004087995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-297699931886361246.post-73528917679056752662008-01-31T19:26:00.000-07:002008-01-31T19:26:00.000-07:00This is the one Austen book I haven't read.

I...I have seen the 2007 BBC version of this novel. I thought it was well done and simply delightful. I think it's different from the others, because this novel is so different from the other novels. This novel is silly and snarky and satiric. Jane's narration throughout is so tongue in cheek at times that I just laughed out loud at times as I read it. <BR/><BR/>I thought the casting for this film was great: John Thorpe was appropriately rude, and Henry Tilney was charming and teasing. I thought the girl who played Catherine was bit young, but she seemed to pull if off ok. As always, the writers take liberties, but I thought they did a good job of translating the novel to the screen. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this little romp.Holly (2 Kids and Tired)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13075380878850295214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-297699931886361246.post-58294488530031039622008-01-20T22:07:00.000-07:002008-01-20T22:07:00.000-07:00I'm actually glad to finally see a positive review...I'm actually glad to finally see a positive review of this book. I've seen it trashed in so many other places, I didn't know what to think. I struggle a little reading Austen -- the language is hard for me to wrap my brain around -- but I've seen movies of all her novels and really enjoy them. This one, however, I found a little odd. Have you seen it?Tristi Pinkstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12122250747480013804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-297699931886361246.post-37355978913254398492008-01-20T20:10:00.000-07:002008-01-20T20:10:00.000-07:00This is actually my favorite Austen book.

I love how she satirizes the popular gothic novels of her time. <BR/><BR/>Have you been watching the Jane Austen movies on PBS?
