Book Review - Northanger Abby

Northanger Abby

Jane Austen 

4.5 Stars
Classic / Romance

Catherine is the heroine of her own tale. Living as much in her mind as in the real world. We readers fallow her, from her beginnings as a girl of little social status to a woman of standing and regard. As a bookworm it there is always a thrill in reading about other readers!
I did not love this book as much as the other Austen's I have read because the majority of the characters where unpleasant. Isabella was horrible, Henry's father greedy, Henry himself was teasing, sarcastic and mean although well intentioned, Elinor was the exception (a pleasant and comforting character). I found Catherine to be worth and unworthy of everything that befell her. I love the simplicity and it has a very real feeling but couldn't help wanting something more.
