Northanger Abbey

This was my most favorite of all of the books so far. Most everything about this book kept me attentive. Catherine Moreland was an eager young heroine that loved learning and reading everything about gothic novels, including her favorite "the mysteries of udolpho." The dramitic irony that was displayed throughout the book made this books master plot very interesting. Catherine had not a clue that Isabelle was betraying her by having an affair with her brother while dragging her along to hang out with her brother in order to distract her. I felt that the ending was very exciting with the accusation Catherine makes about General Tilney. It gave the book its drama that was needed to spice things up. Overall I think this book was great, considering it ended happily and Catherine was able to end up with Henry, the man she loved.
