Emma by Jane Austen

mitskacir's review against another edition

3.0

Emma is my second Austen book, and it was very slow compared to Pride and Prejudice. I liked how flawed Emma was (which actually made her more interesting than Liz in P&P), although the story was quite predictable (except for the twist with Jane!) due to how consistently clueless and self-assured she was. Some of the characters were painfully tedious (as Emma herself feels) and made the book difficult to get through. The audiobook reader was excellent, the story was pleasant if slow, but I would recommend P&P over this any day.

I love Jane Austen - said everyone ever. I prepared myself not to be as impressed with Emma as P&P or S&S; however, Austen's writing and charm captured me once again. I listened to Emma via audiobook, so I'm eager to read it in a few months.

I really loved this book. The characters feel so real and every single one of them is lovable (mostly lol). They’re flawed but unique and go through character development. This people in this book really feel modern excepting a few societal rules that are obviously from the past.

Não consegui me conectar nada com esse livro e achei tudo meio meh... dei 3 estrelas pq a escrita da Jane é boa mas a história me irritou do começo ao fim.
