What a delightful book. I've never done such a 180 on disliking a character at the onset to loving them at the close.

it was my first classic and I just struggled following the story :(

Loved the book! But the slow pacing made me put it down for some time. However, when stuff starts hitting the fan, the book becomes much more fast-paced.

Just as Jane Austen intended, I didn't like Emma for most of the book. However, I felt her character growing on me. By the end of the novel, I was wishing her well. Charming story, though not much happens. It's very much about characters and the plot is almost non-existent. Now to watch a couple versions of the movie!
