I tried to read this a few years ago, but after about 118 pages I just couldn't take it anymore. It's mind-numbingly boring. Maybe I'll revisit it within the next few years, but I have no immediate plans to do so.

I liked this book though not so well as "Sense and Sensibility". This book has the typical era dialogue that can go on and on where you lose track as to which character is speaking which lines. The story kept me interested to the end which was neatly wrapped up as are most of Jane Austen's works.

Somehow I missed this book in highschool and college. I found it absorbing and entertaining. It gives you a taste of what has changed for the late 1800's til now in regard of relationships, love, personal and public image. I really did like this book.

Finally done
I feel !Joe if a modern day author had chosen so few unique words to describe at length so short a scene, the first novel would be their last. I shall give Austen 1 more try.

This was, of course, another reread of this wonderful classic! I fall back in love with Jane Austen every time I reread her marvelous works!
I loved it, please see comments and ignore the terrible typing.
