My Thoughts

I adored NORTHANGER ABBEY from start to finish. I fell in love with Mr. Tilney from the very first time Catherine met him. At times, I thought Catherine was a little too naïve, but it wasn’t enough to influence my opinion of the story. It has become my favorite Austen novel.

Update: When I read this a second time, I listened to the audiobook narrated by Nadia May. I disliked her immensely because her voice grated on my nerves and it soured my reread. Catherine’s naïveté bugged me more than before. Unfortunately, NORTHANGER ABBEY is no longer my favorite Austen novel but I did still enjoy reading it. I ended up changing my rating from 4 stars to 3.5 stars.
