Title: What does this have to do with Jane?
Review: There are so many books out right now related to Jane Austen and the books she wrote so I guess this author was trying to capitalize -- or cash in -- on this trend. I seriously wish that someone would make this writer take the name "Jane Austen" out of the title. It just isn't good enough to deserve to use her name. I tried to read this book when it first came out a few years ago and couldn't get past the first few chapters. I recently picked it up to try again and had the same reaction. This time I did make myself read the whole thing just to be fair to the author in case I should discover some redeeming value in later chapters. I never found much to like. Firstly, it has very little to do with Jane Austen's books and secondly, it's not all that great a story. Everyone else I know who's read it has had a pretty similar reaction so I'm not alone. Don't bother! Skip the book and go directly to the DVD (not something I usually recommend). The movie is much better.
