honestly, I don't understand how this took 20 years to become a movie, this is prime 1990's action-monster movie material (not to mention monster sharks, people LOVED monster shark movies in the 90's)

(stands and applauds as Henry points out to Catherine just how ridiculous she is)

Catherine, seriously, you need to get a grip. It's a shame that Austen toned down her narrator's voice after the first few chapters, because she really ought to be laying into Catherine right about now for being completely nuts.

If this was written ten years ago, Catherine would be a TwiHard looking for a vampire to bite her.

Honestly, I'm having a hard time with this one. The beginning was great, but the longer they lingered in Bath the more I found myself struggling to keep reading, and despite being a fairly short novel, my progress has slowed to a crawl. Hopefully things will pick up now that we're (FINALLY!) out of Bath

Eugh... so sick of the Thorpes, and what the heck, we're STILL IN BATH. I get why people keep saying "no one stays in Bath more than 6 weeks" I've only been in Bath for ~150 pages and I'm heartily eager to be anywhere else. This book starts strong, with a snarky narrator seemingly at war with the characters and with genre tropes, but it really gets bogged down in the middle.
