What Members Thought
Finally made it through this one! While EMMA remains my least favorite Austen, there are some good lines found within its covers, and it is rather satisfying to finally be done with it (and it only took four tries! 😐).
It's among Jane's longest novels, and I confess I felt the wordcount. I found most of it delightful, but sometimes a fun element (silly hypochondria, planning a ball) gets too repetitive or drawn out, and it loses momentum. This is entertaining and it's interesting to have an Austen hero who's rich and socially dominant - this is well worth reading! I just don't think it's in my "read every 1-2 years" pile.
