This book is delightful. I had no idea Austen wrote satire and enjoyed her breaking the fourth wall so this is probably my second favorite of hers behind Pride & Prejudice, but she lost a star for the rushed ending.
Easily my favorite Jane Austen novel. The story is a send-up of the style of Austen's and her contemporaries' work on the lady's hero's journey. At least, that's how I read it. Good stuff.

This was a really fun book to read. It had been a while since I'd read Austen and it was a pleasant surprise. This book is packed with humor, wit, and satire (especially snarky jokings about Jane Eyre). It's a great book to get back into Austen with and a very quick read.

Was my first Austen, read back in high school. This is one that got me hooked...
I thought this book was very funny and gothic. I enjoyed it immensely!
