really liked it

Northanger Abbey tells the tale of Catherine Morland who leaves her sheltered, rural life for a few weeks to visit the busy, sophisticated world of Bath.

I thought this book ended a little quickly.

I would like to have known what happened to Isabella and James Morland, Catherine's brother. I was intrigued by Isabella and wanted to learn what her true intentions were, but the ending left me hanging.

The book also shows how you shouldn't take how characters behave in books as the sole basis for how people behave and act in real life. I'm referring to the behaviour of one of the characters in this book and not to readers of this book.

Ashley Shea I've noticed as I've become more and more enamored of character driven books how... Not great Jane Austen was at character development. I think she wrote great period pieces, I think she wrote good love stories, but her characters are flat and her plots are super simple. Mark of the times, I guess, but yeah, this book is just meh.
