I find most classics kind of a task to get in to, but a lot of the time I do end up enjoying them.
I liked this one from the get go but still took some time lol. Such a funny story though and I overall really enjoyed it! 
Great characters, and Austen makes them come to life with their descriptions and specific character details. I loved when miss bate’s would go on rants.
Also listening to this was so fun when that would happen- it made the humour more apparent I think.

I loved it. Even though Mr. Knightley started loving Emma when she was 13...which wouldn't have been awful if they were the same age, but he's 16 years older than her??? He's 29 and in love with a 13 year old?? At least she's 21 during this book....

Very long winded prose, maybe a longer overall novel than it needed to be, charming nonetheless.
