A review by clairedrinkstea
Northanger Abbey by Val McDermid
1.0
Rubbish! Don't read it. It's an insult to Austin and her works and I'm not an Austin purist, I don't mind retellings or re-imaginations of her works.
If I could I would give it ZERO stars!!
It's whinny and silly; you have no love for any of the characters and the speech is so stereotyped it's cringe and shudder worthy.
Has Val McDermid ever spoken to teenager from the last decade or basing her characters on memes, gifs and tumblr jokes about being a fangirl? It's actually quite sad really, I honestly don't know who gave the green-light to this book but everyone involved should hang their heads in shame.
My copy is already in the charity bin. At least it might do some good that way.
