"I know I like this more than most. And may be the only guy who does. But in a world where we can only see the most horrific evil, the subtle hues are looked over. Austen paints those hues clearly here. "

    " My least favorite Austen. Fanny is a downtrodden, goody-two shoes and she marries her cousin. There seems to be some underlying tension with the Bertram wealth, but it is never actually stated. "

    " I really enjoyed the characterization in Mansfield Park. I also thought it remarkably like high school drama, which I personally found hilarious. Also, the character of Mrs. Norris presented an interesting insight into the formation of Harry Potter. "

    " This is not one of my favorite Jane Austen novels. It is well written, but for some reason I found it a bit slow in the middle. "

    " it doesn't get interesting until about halfway through. One of the more tedious Austen novels. However I love the choice and care that is given to how the characters speak to and treat each other. "

About Jane Austen

Jane Austen (1775–1817) is considered by many scholars to be the first great woman novelist. Born in Steventon, England, she later moved to Bath and began to write for her own and her family’s amusement. Her novels, set in her own English countryside, depict the daily lives of provincial middle-class families with wry observation, a delicate irony, and a good-humored wit.
