The book is so much better than the movie too much happens in it to cut down to 2 hours. I really fell in love with Elinor’s character in a way I haven’t since Pride and Prejudice. I felt very connected to her throughout reading and really related to her. I struggle with Mariannes character more in the book than the movie I find her insufferable in the movie but I understood her better in the book. I dont like the final couples. I dont like that they are both someone’s second choice. I get it but it makes me so sad and Elinor deserved so much better than she got. The way edward speaks about Lucy reads like a man who downplays his past relationships in a very toxic way. Overall I loved this book very much. I would put it as my second favorite full work of Austen’s the writing in this feels much more personal and real than some of her later novels

A classic for a reason, but not my favorite of Austen's work. Slightly more chaotic and difficult to follow tham I would have liked.

The first of Jane Austen's books, Sense and Sensibility is not as flowing and beautiful as her later work, but has some great dialogue and hints at the great wit that she would sharpen throughout her ouvre.
