Title: Don't bother.
Review: Extremely disappointing. Boring characters with stupid names like Grigg and Allegra (the author even goes so far as to point out that she is named for a Shakespeare character, and not for the allergy medication) meet once a month to discuss their monthly Austen selection. However, there is very little discussion of the chosen books. Fowler sticks random quotes from or about Austen throughout the book in places where they don't make any sense. She ends the book with a chapter summarizing all of the Austen novels, rather than weave this information into the story. It's as if Fowler has collected all of this information on Austen and is determined to use it, even if she can't figure out how to do it in an interesting way. 'Look at me, I can quote Jane Austen.' This book was so boring, I want my money and my time back.
