I liked reading this book even though it wasn't always easy for me because I am not used to reading classic English literature. Nevertheless, it was fun to experience this story and to get a glimpse of what was important at that time.

I haven't read a lot of Jane Austen (only P&P and now this one) but so far, I think Persuasion is my favorite. I love Anne Elliot, I think her personality and character was explained in much detail. I love how there is literally a squad of people in this book and how Jane Austen made a some-what detailed story for each of them. I really enjoyed the plot, the story was entertaining yet simple to follow. I think I might re-read this again someday.
