Review - The Jane Austen Book Club

I'm torn on this book.  I had heard and read a lot of positive reviews about it so I was excited to read it.  I found it interesting to read, but I think that I expected more from the book.

The premise is a book club that is formed to read the works of Jane Austen.  I found this interesting and enjoyed seeing how the book's characters interpreted Austen's work.  What I had a harder time with and wasn't that impressed with was the stories that revolved around the club members.  None of the characters really excited me and drew me into their story.

I've heard that the movie was better than the book.  I think that I'll have to give it a try sometime.
