I would have probably enjoyed this more if I was more familiar with 18th century literature, which these pieces are satire of. There were some stories I found to be really funny and enjoyable, like The Three Sisters, History of England and Frederic and Elfrida, but for some of the stories, I just failed to see the point. A lot of them are unfinished, too, so that is also a reason they didn't totally work for me. However, all of the stories had at the very least some lines that made me smile and Austen's writing is already really good. My edition also has wonderful extra material about her life and works, which I loved but won't influence my rating of the actual book. Not a book for everyone, but if you're a fan of Austen and/or 18th century literature, it's worth checking out.
