Title: Just Lovely
Review: This book is a gem, and you don't have to be a Janeite to love it, although that of course adds to the pleasure of its irony, allusions, and the narrator's tone as well as that of the characters' dialogue. One disappointed Amazon reviewer suggests that one should read Jane Austen herself, instead, (and one should definitely read the unmatchable JA) but I really wonder if said reviewer would like Austen either; the very accusations made about the characters being "shallow and boring" are often the ones leveled by my freshman English Lit. students at Emma Woodhouse. . . Also, where are the "numerous vulgarities"? I can't recall even one!
