Lisa C. (Leebot) reviewed on 10/1/2006 + 8 more book reviews

This book gets a lot of good reviews so perhaps I am in the minority, as one who did not care for it. As a Jane Austen fan, I was looking forward to reading this, but the Austen book club was simply a device to set the stage for relationships and romance in the style of "Pride and Prejudice." I found it formulaic, characters dull and uninspiring -- in fact I did not finish the book. But again, I've heard that lots of readers have enjoyed this book and clearly it's gotten a lot of press - so maybe I'm just picky.
