Title: The Jane Austen Book ClubAuthor: Karen Joy Fowler
Genre: Fiction
Rating: 7/10
# pages: 240
Date read: September, 2008
Summary: Six Californians join to discuss Jane Austen's novels. Over the six months they meet, marriages are tested, affairs begin, unsuitable arrangements become suitable, and love happens. With her finely sighted eye for the frailties of human behavior and her finely tuned ear for the absurdities of social intercourse, Fowler has never been wittier nor her characters more appealing. The result is a delicious dissection of modern relationships.
Review: Fairly decent book, but a very 'light' read, and though I haven't seen it yet, I'm actually going to be contrary and claim that I believe it's a plot that'll work better as a movie than as a book (similar to "The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" where I loved the movie but only thought the book was so-so).
Good entertainment on a plane-ride though, and while it didn't have as much Austen as I would've liked, it had a LOT more than I had feared.
