review 1: I thoroughly enjoyed Northanger Abbey and Angels and Dragons. I had previously read Northanger Abbey, and am a fan of Jane Austen's. The heroine is as charming as when she was initially created, but has become just so funny. It is also funny that is is a parody of a parody (as Northanger Abbey was a parody of the Gothic style in vogue at the time in England).I think though that Nazarian should have believed more in the ability of the readers to catch the ironic parts of the book without having to italize words every other paragraph.
review 2: I won this at a first-reads on goodreads!So I was definitely totally against the whole re-writing of Jane Austen's novels because I love them in their pure forms, and I still do! After reading another book called Pride Pre... morejudice and Zombies, or something or another, I did not want to read another remake of a Jane Austen book with supernaturals.But was I surprised! I thought to myself, give it a try, and I did! Northanger Abbey is one of my favorite novels written by Jane Austen (surprising isn't it!).In this novel, Catherine Morland, the heroine of our story is constantly surrounded by tiny little angels that help her and warn her about things. She embarks on her first journey to Bath, where the angels go into a frenzy warning her about cold Isabella Thorpe and her brother, John Thorpe. And of course we cannot forget her encounter with her true love Henry Tilney!I recommend this book if you are looking for a bit of change in Northanger Abbey in a more Gothic sense!Thanks for the novel!! I enjoyed it! less
