Jane Austen's Little Instruction Book

Summary: Badly Done
Review: Jane Austen is among my favorite authors, and I had hoped this book would highlight some of my favorite quotes. Unfortunately, it did nothing of the sort. Many of the quotes seemed to have no other purpose than to fill up space on the page. One page, for example, says only "In a country neighbourhood you move in a very confined and unvarying society" (Mr. Darcy, Pride and Prejudice). At least in that particular example the quote was attributed to the correct person. There are some where this is not the case, for example "A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony, in a moment." This quote is incorrectly attributed to Miss Elizabeth Bennet instead of to Mr. Darcy. Another example is Henry Tilney's discussion with Catherine Morland on the relationship between dancing and marriage; that quote is incorrectly attributed to John Thorpe. The quality of this book is not equal to its cost; don't waste your money on it.

Summary: Cute collection of her movie quotes
Review: There are a few good things in here. But it wasn't what I expected it to be. I thought it would be more than a collection of quotes from her books. Why not just read the books or watch the movies? Still, there were some very good quotes in here.
