I'm not a fan of "girly" books, and was put off picking it up by all the fawning over Darcy. When I finally decided to give it a try, I instantly fell in love with Austen's language and wit. It's an absolute joy to read - not nearly as saccharine as I expected it to be and a hell of a lot of fun.
Great!
Jane Austen was FAR from saccharine!
