Ragione e sentimento by Jane Austen

oxnard_montalvo's review against another edition

I can't be the only person on goodreads who hates Jane Austen, can I? Another book I had to read for my undergraduate course, and yes writing an essay on it might have killed whatever enjoyment I could have otherwise squeezed out of it, but deep down I know that's not the case. I just can't stand her. It's a deeply ingrained loathing that I doubt I'll shake.

Como primero vi la película un par de veces, hasta la ultima pagina me quejé de todo lo que tardaban siquiera en hablarse las parejas; pero una vez termina, y paro de quejarme, entiendo porque y lo prefiero así. El libro va mas allá de las relaciones románticas de las dos hermanas, es como una excusa, o un desencadenante donde enseña la versatilidad en las personas cuando se enfrentan a situaciones similares. Al final los personajes evolucionan, y capaz si te dice cual es o hubiera sido el mejor proceder, siguiendo la costumbre de ser discreto y reservado, pero no del todo, pq a la vez te da un espacio para tu propia opinión, te deja la situación para que tu propio criterio lo juzgue; exponiéndote a la vez otras perspectivas para tener una visión más completa o diversa.

The worst Jane Austen novel I’ve read. 
—————————
I’ve read and loved all of Austen’s other novels and this one fell flat. 

The plot was too slow for my taste and couldn’t hold my interest. 

I know most women in Austen’s novels are slightly dramatic but Marianne is on a whole other level.

As an avid reader I decide I must read a Jane Austen book, but sadly I just didn’t love it. I struggled with the age difference in the love matches and the fact that a character could talk to another character the whole book but end up marrying her sister. There was a lot of characters and a lot of conversation back and forth and it all just got a bit much. I was saved by the fact it was narrated by the gorgeous Kate Windsor but otherwise this was not for me
