Book Reviews of The Jane Austen Book Club (movie tie-in)
Book Review: short on parallels to Austen
Summary: 3 Stars
The book club members decide that they want to focus on only Jane Austen, because anything following would be a disappointment, and this is. I found the parallels between the Austen books and the characters to be so shallow, I wasn't always sure what they were.
If you want to read about characters in parallel with Jane Austen novels, I recommend Bridget Jones's Diary with Pride and Prejudice or Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason with Persuasion. Although there are some distinct differences between the books of Jane Austen and Helen Fielding, there are many parallels, and Helen Fielding is funny.
