Aunque no es mi libro favorito de Jane Austen, es imposible que esta autora me decepcione. A pesar de haber tenido que leerlo con ciertas prisas para un trabajo de clase, lo he disfrutado muchísimo y sé que es uno de esos que releeré pasado un tiempo.


I love Anne Elliot.

I didn’t like the book much- it doesn’t hold a candle to P&P, S&S or Emma in terms of plot or character development. There is a lot of filler, with chapters that don’t add much to the story. I understand Persuasion was oublished posthumously, making me wonder if she didn’t care for herself or if she was starting to become a hack …

slow-paced

The two main characters don't even speak throughout the whole book and there is so much unnecessary stuff (especially in the beginning)
