To be honest, I really wasn't looking forward to reading this one, "Northanger Abbey" is Jane Austen's satirical take on a Gothic novel, and my best recollection from the first time I read it is that she couldn't ever quite decide whether she was being sarcastic or not, so I ended up thinking the book was...well, kind of stupid.
I'm sorry, Jane. I take it back. It's hysterical. Funnier than "Emma". Yes, the ending is a bit abrupt and resolves fairly quickly, but still delightful. Forgive me.
