My least favorite Jane Austen novel.
My least favorite of all of Austen's books that I've read so far, though I did still enjoy it. It just didn't capture my attention as raptly as her others do. Also, I had a hard time not paralelling everything in the book to the movie Clueless - an undeniably annoying tendency.

I had been resisting reading Austen for years, and now I'm not sure why, because Emma was such fun. It really was similar the movie Clueless, and was fun to pick out the characters.
