Manga Classics Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
5.0
The number one reason why I wanted to read this Manga Classics version of Sense and Sensibility was because I have watched the film starring Emma Thompson with my sisters more times than I can count. We are all slightly obsessed with that film, partly because it also stars Alan Rickman. But anyways....
Reading this version of Sense and Sensibility was like watching the film all over again. The drawings were absolutely lovely, and some of the characters looked similar to the actors. I couldn't help but read the whole thing hearing the actors' voices for the characters they had portrayed!
I think that one of the reasons this story has always enchanted us is because of the pure simplicity of it. And the stark contrast between the two sisters. I always admired Elinore's silent courage in the face of hardship. And the girls both go through quite a lot.
I don't really know what else I could say about this book, other than it has warmed my heart to read it, just as the film did. And it has made me even more determined to pick up the original and read it someday.
