I am a huge Jane Austen fan and I picked up Northanger Abbey hoping to find another brillant work of Austens to stick my nose in, but I was rather disappointed with it. This book was not quite up to par with her other books. It was a little slow and the characters were not as memorable as Elizabeth, Emma, Mary Anne etc.. I don't regret reading it but next time I am looking for a Jane Austen, I'll reread P&P.
