will make you fall in love with Austen
I have read and loved Jane Austen's novels for a long time, but I must admit that I didn't know too much about Jane Austen herself. When first glancing at the picture from the Miramax film of the same title on the cover of Becoming Jane, I figured the book was going to be solely about the romance aspect of Jane Austen's novels. I was wrong. Becoming Jane is a small, fairly short book full of ...

Excellent review of law school
As a lawyer who graduated from a good law school in the 1980's, I found this book to be excellent. The findings resonnated with my own law school experience, which was alienating at best and miserable at worst. I was finally able to make sense of what happened to me in law school and why I found the work so frustrating. I was taught to be competitive and my nature was more compromising. As ...

An Excellent and Indispensable Tool For All Writers
Checking out the Internet as well as various other sources I notice there is a great deal of excellent advice on writing techniques. Unfortunately, many aspiring writers as well as experienced ones either neglect the advice or are unaware of its existence. There are also local critique groups and countless workshops, seminars, and other avenues where writers can learn how to improve their ...

This is a good resource for art teachers.
I like this book because it steers teachers toward teaching creativity instead of making their students create multiples of the same painting or form. It teaches different components of teaching art as well; such as art history, aesthetics, etc. I would recommend this book to any art teacher.

I love this book.
I finished reading this book in one day! I found it inspiring, hilarious, and touching. I could read her stories for hours! This could be a fantastic movie. Hell, this could be a fantastic series. I would watch it. I want to be Jane Stern's friend. I want to be an EMT! OK, I don't really want to do the second thing. But as someone rapidly approaching middle age myself, this is a remarkable ...

Lively Biography, Don't Expect a Love Story
We do not know that much about Jane Austen partly because she was a very private person and partly because her family burned most of her communications after her death. However, Jon Spence does an admirable job connecting the pieces we do have, making logical bridges to the gaps, and putting her beloved works into context. Biographies can often succumb to the pitfall of clinging too closely to ...

Very good source.
I bought this book because I'm preparing to teach a Jane Austen class. Spence makes some interesting points and does a good job of backing them up. I don't think we can take everything as fact, but he does support his arguments very well. Unfortunately, there is so much left up to guesswork when it comes to Austen. When it comes to Austen biographies, this book is very easy and enjoyable to read. ...

A little bit dry to read although it has some good ideas!
I bought this book as part of my own relentless search for better understanding of effective reading processes for business professionals. It is designed primarily for the academic professional in an educational setting. The authors are academic researchers/lecturers. The writing style is therefore a little bit dry and somewhat boring, but I must add that it has some interesting ideas, ...
