"Austen gets an extra star, particularly for Lady Susan, though these are little better than fragments. Lady Susan is manipulative and mean, but intelligent, determined, and had Austen ever had a chance to go back and redo this again, might have made a hell of anti-heroine. I'd love to see some modern take on her story."

    " This is going back on my to-read shelf. The Pgh Jane Austen group is starting "neighborhood" reading groups, and I am heading up the North area. I have only read these fragments once, but look forward to another reading and some lively discussion. "

    " I can't give these short stories the full 5 stars because the Watsons and Sandition were never finished. A little frustrating not to know how she planned to end them, but if you love Jane Austen, then you have to read these too. "

    " Out of all Jane Austin books, I didn't like this one at all. She was very selfish and just not what I expected but still a good story, just didn't like it compared to the other Jane Austin stories. "

    " I love Jane Austen! It was nice to find a writing that was new to me. Very interesting style being written in letter form. I could easily see this as a fun movie production. "

    " I hated Lady Susan (the character, not the book), loved The Watsons, I wish it was finished and I didn't really like Sanditon. (I can't review books very well.) "

    " A charming book detailing the duplicitous behaviour of a self serving and self centred woman. One cannot feel any sentiment for her at any time and yet she provides great entertainment. "

    " These stories aren't Jane's best but they are small endeavors and The Watsons was not completed. I was entertained the most by Lady Susan. All the same, it was okay. "

    " This is a collection of some of Austen's earliest writings. It gives you an engaging sense of the author as a child and teen. If you're a parent, you'll be amused and entertained imagining Jane as the young "entertainer" she aspires to be in these writings. "

    " Poca roba, un raccontino sotto forma epistolare e due romanzi appena abbozzati (di cui il secondo, Sanditon, anche piuttosto noioso). Consigliato solo agli aficionados della Austen. "

    " Sono tre racconti incompiuti dell'autrice in cui già si denotano i caratteri tipo che poi si incontreranno negli altri romanzi della Austen. E' una lettura leggera e piacevole ma non paragonabile ai suoi capolavori. "

    " Since it is our namesake, I felt I should read "The Watsons". The project was abandoned, for obvious reasons... not one of Jane's best works, but still fun to read and see her progression. "

About Jane Austen

Jane Austen (1775–1817) is considered by many scholars to be the first great woman novelist. Born in Steventon, England, she later moved to Bath and began to write for her own and her family’s amusement. Her novels, set in her own English countryside, depict the daily lives of provincial middle-class families with wry observation, a delicate irony, and a good-humored wit.
