tiffanynoel 's review for:
Northanger Abbey
by Jane Austen
funny
lighthearted
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Loveable characters:
Yes
Okay, this was so fun! I knew it was kind of a parody on the gothic novels of the time period, but I didn’t expect it to be so amusing! I was giggling through the whole thing.
Catherine was a delightful heroine and I loved her! Henry was funny and their interactions were too good.
After Pride and Prejudice, this might be my favorite Jane Austen novel (although I do still have one or two left before I can decide for sure).
Enjoy my favorite quotes!
“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a novel must be intolerably stupid.”
“Her passion for ancient edifices was next in degree to her passion for Henry Tilney.”
“But now you love a hyacinth. So much the better. You have gained a new source of enjoyment, and it is well to have as many holds on happiness as possible.”
