Title: Disappointing in many ways
Review: First let me confess that I've not made an effort to become a fan of Austen. That, alone, might put into context a reader's reaction to my less than thrilled review of this book.I stumbled in the first chapter when the first person narrator introduced all six book club members in the third person, not accounting for herself. I presumed it was some kind of literary game, but found it annoying. I don't think it was resolved.While I did finish the book, I was grumbling. It seemed light, slight, entertaining in parts, contained some wonderful lines and observations, but ultimately did not satisfy in any genre. How did all those wonderful writers get coopted into the 'blurb community'?
