ratherbereadin 's review for:

Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
3.0

3.5 stars

I have previously read Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility and i enjoyed those two books a lot, so i already knew that i was a fan of Jane Austen's writing. This is definitely a much slower read than her P&P or S&S so it took some more kind of plowing through to complete this book. Having said that, i still really enjoyed this book.

I did have a little trouble with the ending, not the way it ended, which of course i loved, but just that after reading over 400 pages leading up to this certain event that i really wanted more from it.
Spoiler I really wanted to see more from Fanny and Edmund with regard to Edmund realising his feeling for Fanny etc, i really wanted a professions of love and such


Other than that i still really enjoyed this book and i can't wait to move on to more of Austen's works.
