Title: In Which I Write A Review
Review: I don't get why this was supposedly such a fine work of literature. I don't get the sophomoric Jane Austen discussions, I don't get a handle on the characters, I don't get the "book club discussion questions" at the end. I didn't find the "subversive wit and a wise observer of human interaction" of the author, and the "the heady literary chat" was probably way above my own head. I never knew there was such a thing called "Janeites"-- so maybe this would appeal to people who are obsessed with Austen. I've never been a huge fan.As for the The Washington Post's Book World review, "It's just as hard to explain quite why The Jane Austen Book Club is so wonderful." - True. I agree with that! "But that it is wonderful will soon be widely recognized, indeed, a truth universally acknowledged." Wow- isn't that some neat prophesying!
