Jane Austen Book Club [2/50]

Last night when I got home from work I finished Book 2 of 50.

The Jane Austen Book Club

by Karen Joy Fowler

Rating: The story makes a better movie.

*spoiler free*

I got this book in my stocking this Christmas...

After finishing it I feel 3 things:

1- I wish I had left it off my wish list.

2- I couldn't stand the time-line of the book.

Or lack there of. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood to read it but

the author throws random stories about every character at all times
You have to track 6 peoples lives both "present" and past.
I just didn't like the way this book was organized
which is probably why...

3- I liked the movie much, much more.

 *favorite quotes*
Sadly, other than the direct quotes from Austen's books,
not much of the rest of the book stood out in my mind.
 Although
I did recognize direct lines from the book
that were worked into the movie, which was cool.

Comment Questions:

 Have you read this book? Or seen the movie?
