All the nonsensical dialog that goes on and on and on.....it is boring me to tears. Just cannot finish reading it. I need to enjoy the book I'm reading.
“If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged, but one word from you will silence me on this subjects forever”

I don’t see how it’s possible to give this book less than 5 stars. There is NOTHING to dislike about this book and I shall duel

I loved it, couldn't say more, it was captivating and moving. I will now watch the movie and then move on to Mansfield Park.

Oh the drama...
Homegirl really needed an editor.
Unfortunately, they probably didn't exist during the Napoleonic age she lived in, so what we ended up with was a mess of wordiness that obscured her brilliant talent.
Austen crafted a compelling storyline and very memorable cast of characters, who, though I felt were incredibly flat at first, were later very interesting and had some remarkable depth. She was witty, I had laugh out loud moments, but they only came after I invested so much effort into deciphering what she was getting at. It's not just the archaic language - I found Shakespeare easier to read than this book.
Bound by the sensibilities of her time, Austen had some rather novel ideas for the 1810s, but still quite dated today. The entire book is basically about people visiting other people's homes, and nearly all the people involved saw honest labour as beneath them. They are the people that I would never talk to in real life out of disgust. The experience of reading this book felt more like learning history than enjoying literature.
