Compared to other novels by Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility is definitely not her best work. I still admire her writing style, her observations of society and its subtle critiques but as a whole, this book dragged on several times and all in all did not have me as involved with her characters as I usually am. There are much better books out there by Jane Austen.
