Title: Northanger Abbey
Author: Jane Austen
Genre: Classics
Rating: 8/10
# pages: Audiobook
Date read: November, 2006

Summary: Northanger Abbey is a hilarious parody of 18th century gothic novels. The heroine, 17-year old Catherine, has been reading far too many 'horridø gothic novels and would love to encounter some gothic-style terror - but the superficial world of Bath proves hazardous enough. (From Librivox.org)

Review: I really enjoyed Northanger Abbey, although it's definitely not Austen's best (that honour still belongs to P&P closely followed by "Emma" :-))Some characters in this book drove me just about crazy! I really wanted to take one and slap the other. Fortunately Catherine (the main character) knew better than to fall for their tricks more than once. Good for her!
