Great for novices

This book is exactly what it claims to be: a beginner's guide. It has some aspects in common with a user's guide: frequent summaries, keyword definitions, and so on. If you are new to Austen and new to critical reading, and you need some help getting started, this is a great place to go. It's not for Austen experts or sophisticated readers, but younger or less sophisticated readers will likely find it very helpful.
