Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen

1.0

---

I have never hated a book as much as I hated Northanger Abbey. I had heard that it was the one gothic novel Jane Austen had ever written, and I was deeply disappointed. As a Bronte lover, I found her scathing gothic satire offensive and bitchy. I thought her random asides and diatribes were completely unnecessary. This is the only book I have read by her, and it has put me off entirely.
