An early epistolary novel and two unfinished works--none of them very well-known, but all well worth reading for anyone who's loved Austen's other stories. Lady Susan is brief and entertaining. Its title character is a worldly, willful woman whose unfeeling amorality is almost cartoonish. She reminded me of both the lovely and manipulative Mary Crawford and the domineering Catherine de Bourgh, but Susan probably stands alone as the character whose treachery and hunger for power are the most obvious from the start; the epistolary form was much more blatant than the subtle third-person omniscience of Austen's more famous novels. The story is told through Susan's letters, as well as those of the acquaintances and family members caught up in her romantic ventures. It is a revealing and amusing look at the many ways in which different people perceive the same events, and the ways in which they represent those events to others. All there is of The Watsons is a sketchy start, but I think it would have ended up a wonderful novel. The heroine's circumstances are sad and uncomfortable, but she remains kind and lively, successfully resisting dejection and jealousy. She surprised me and earned my respect at the ball scene where she saved a young boy from humiliation. As for Sanditon... I think it would have been even better than The Watsons, and maybe even better than several other of her books. From the first page--on which a carriage accident takes place--it shows Austen setting off in new directions. Its cast of characters include a pair of vigorous hypochondriac sisters, a brother who is all too happy to play sick too, a man who considers seductiveness his duty, an enthusiast of all things sea-related, and a wry, down-to-earth heroine. The way in which Austen pokes fun at illness is made poignant by the fact that she herself was close to death as she wrote it. Needless to say, it's very sad that she didn't live to complete this novel, and many more.

I don't know what I can really say about this book that can even begin to sound half as good as the book itself. I've seen the movie a dozen times, though it's been a few years. Unfortunately, not only do I have a good memory, but I'll never forget the giant twist in the story. Knowing how things turn out, though, did not hinder my enjoyment of this book. I loved the way it was written. It was choppy, but almost like a train of thought. I suppose if I read it about 3 more times and had about 5 hours to sit here and give it a worthy review, I could tell you what it's really about or at least what it could be about. I won't, though, because I think it should be read and analyzed individually. If I had to pick my favorite quotes from this book, I would get in trouble, because I'd have to type out the entire novel. Here's a good one from a random page: "I am helpless. I am stupid, and all I do is want and need things. My tiny life. My little shitty job. My Swedish furniture. I never, no, never told anyone this, but before I met Tyler, I was planning to buy a dog and name it 'Entourage.' This is how bad your life can get. Kill me." I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to read something different. It can be dark, twisted, weird, thoughtful, eye opening, confusing... it is simply wonderful. I think this is one of those books everyone should read and read more than once. I know I will be placing it to the side and picking it up again, hopefully soon. The characters were absolutely brilliant. It kind of makes you wonder if you really know someone. If you really know yourself. It makes you question the world we live in and what it does to people or what we do to the world. Anything else I say would only be spoilers. Just Read It. http://meganm922.blogspot.com/2012/02...
