Reader Reviews:
Northanger Abbey. (0/4 people found this helpful)
I have not read any of the other short stories in this book so far.
But as for Northanger Abbey? That gets a huge yawn from me. Aside from a few very important observations about women and literature and the humour of Austins sarcasm, the story itself fails to captivate and offers little substance. In short my recollection of it is like listening to a bit of gossip. If you are a die hard Austin fan then do read it but if not thyen this would only drive you still further away.
