- Lady Susan is no lady
I am sorry to you Austen fan's, but this is a very boring book. I keep waiting for something to happen. So far it is a story about a self-will titled older woman who does what ever it takes to get her own way. I am not done with the book as yet, not sure I will finish it.

By the way, this is the first Austen book I have come across that I did not enjoy.

- Lady Susan: A "Novel" in a Literay Tradition
I make no direct comment on LADY SUSAN. But a 'novel of letters'? You don't have to run to Dostoevsky for an example. Austen is here writing out of a long tradition of epistolary novels. See Samuel Richardson, PAMELA. See Thomas Fielding, SHAMELA ( needless to say, a spoof of Pamela). And there are plenty of others. Pamela begat Shamela which begat Joseph Andrews, Tom Jones. And on to Austen. Note the importance of letters, or notes, in ALL of her novels. Darcy's letter of explanation to Elizabeth. ... Read More

Rating:

- For Austen Completists
While not as good as her novels, it is a pleasant read if you already like Austen. Not a good introduction to the author though. I suggest start with Pride & Prejudice.

Rating:

- It's Austen. What's not to like?
Lady Susan is arguably Jane Austen's least interesting work.

But, being Austen, that means it's still more interesting than virtually anything else ever written.

Rating:

- Too short for a novel, but a good story
Lady Susan should not be compared to Austen's much longer and more developed novels; it's simply in a different category. That said, I enjoyed it much more than say, Northhanger Abbey or some of her other short works. It reads more like Sense & Sensibility in its tone. The letter form took some getting used to, but once over that hurdle, I could appreciate that way of telling the story. This would make a funny, entertaining film, especially if acted with just the right comic note.
