I would have to say I did not thoroughly enjoy the book Emma. I have read pride and prejudice, and  sense and sensibility and enjoyed both those books. I especially enjoyed sense and sensibility. But I think the main problem of this book, for me is I didn't like the character Emma. I felt I could not connect to her. I did already know some of the plot so I kept reading. But It if I did not know the plot I would not have. She was such a 'miss know it all' and I didn't like that. I know that's the point of the book, but I just found myself getting annoyed by her. I wish I liked it more :(
