mizzan 's review for:
Sense & Sensibility
by Joanna Trollope
Oh man, this was so dreary. I was determined to finish it as I thought it might help dip my toes in the Austen waters before I tackled Pride and Prejudice, but the writing was terrible and laboured. Characterisation of 'strong' female characters probably doesn't age well in the last 150 years (and probably isn't easy to translate into modern day tales with ipods!) but I struggled with the writing.
Not a great start, wish me luck as I delve into REAL Austen next.
