A review by spiderstapdance
Austenland by Shannon Hale

4.0

I devoured this book! The beginning was very well crafted -it sucked me in right away, but there was a point toward the early-middle when I felt the plot and my interest dragging. But on the whole, it was a very satisfying romance about a woman learning how to approach love in a healthy way. I love how well Hale parallels Jane Hayes' story to Jane Austen's novels. Perfect for the Austen lover and the newcomer alike.
