Not my favorite Austen. Here, the author's razor-sharp social commentary takes on a quality of bitterness, and her ascerbic wit is often just plain meanness. She is more pointed in her criticism of gender roles of the time, and in the nonsensical hierarchies of class and fortune, but seems to lose interest in the actual story, dropping side plots willy-nilly and abruptly tying everything up with a too-tidy epilogue.
