It's not like it magically became something else like a caterpillar to a butterfly. So why has my opinion on this book changed so drastically? It's still the same book. Plus the naming of the male actors is dumb, really the Darcy/Knightly Character is really called Nobley? I mean could it be stupider? The whole book is kind of degrading." As you might have guessed, time changes many things, including how I feel about this book. Not very funny and to a true Janeite somewhat insulting. here's what I wrote at the time: "Supposedly humorous book on Jane Austen addiction, but the author obviously has a disdain for those obsessed with Austen and views it as a problem to be hidden away, like the leads hiding of her double dvd set. I didn't exactly like it, in fact, hate might be more the right phrase. I also remember the glee (there was squealing) when Barnes & Noble put it out the Friday before it was supposed to be released so I got to read it over the holiday weekend.
Shannon Hale's first foray into adult literature. I remember back in 2007 how excited I was for this book. Are her feelings real, are his feelings real, or is he being paid to help her get over her addiction? If she can say no to Mr. Jane throws herself into the world and soon has feelings for the Darcyesque Mr. This is the best place in the world to do immersion therapy to get over Darcy once and for all. She soon realizes that while making out with Martin is nice, there's no way he can help her get over her Darcy dreams. All these actors paid to fulfil her fantasies are now aware of her "issues."Īt first she decides to eschew the world Austenland has opened to her and seeks comfort with Martin, who happens to be a gardener on the estate. Jane feels silly dressing up in Regency garb and pretending to be "Miss Jane Erstwhile." The men are gorgeous, the house is wonderful, but it makes her secret not so secret. An all expense paid trip to Austenland, the premiere holiday destination for Janites with cash to spare, as in enough to pay for a new car and a month in Italy. When her Great Aunt dies she leaves Jane a legacy. Jane needs to grasp tightly to reality and leave the dream men behind. But then her astute Great Aunt notices the DVD set amongst the dying foliage of her house plants and confronts her niece. Darcy is her dark dirty secret, hiding him away in her apartment where no one will look. She's had a string of boyfriends and as each one has successively let her down she's lost herself more and more to the world of Jane Austen.
