This book started out a little rocky for me, but I ended up really enjoying it. I'm a huge Austen fan and the concept was a little out there for me. I didn't like Jane very much at the beginning, but I really liked how Jane evolved throughout the novel, and the complexity of what's real and what's just an act. By the end, I was definitely getting the same thrills of anticipation that I get from reading Austen herself - a definite sign of a successful novel.
