This one dragged on a bit to really hammer the point home.

I love this book and every rendition of it that I’ve ever seen, but it was SO SLOW. This time period and Jane Austen in general writes in a really dense way. I like the humanly imperfect characters and there are a lot of funny moments.

5.0

This was definitely interesting. There is so many layers to the books and hidden meanings behind all the dialogues and the language. Have trust issues because of this book as nobody's pov is reliable (especially not Emma's while Mr. Knightly is comparatively more accurate) 
"everything is not what it seems" could have been part of the movie's music playlist but make in 1800's 
This was a fun read. Compared to P&P, it was definitely more comical and the writing style was a bit different but still enjoyable to say at the very least. 
I loved the character development in this book and also character analysis. And I loved how they did a deep dive into the character of the side characters like Miss. Bates, Jane Fairfax, Harriet, Mrs. Elton, John Knightly and so on whom would have otherwise been completely ignored and how these people and their lives and their personality shape Emma to be who she is and also shapes her alteration.
Speaking of the devil, did I like Emma? Surprisingly, I did and didn't at the same time. I found her to be a very humane character who has flaws and makes mistakes (loads of them in fact) but she still has a lot more learning though. 
Final thoughts: loved it. Definitely will reread it just to understand the hints on

frank churchill's and jane fairfax's relationship

and also understand the themes more. Definitely recommend!!
