Mansfield Park
by Jane Austen
3.5ish. Indeed I did like the book more than I would have thought I would. The adaptions have grossly misrepresented Fanny's character! For the most of the book however she was really insignificant. She seemed to get better as soon as the sisters were off. Then I enjoyed to read more of her, instead of the others. Yet I absolutely couldn't like any other character than her. Okay, maybe Lady Bertram in a weird, funny way and Sir Thomas after he came back as well. The sisters and Tom, and especially Mrs. Norris were awful. Henry and Mary Crawford as well. Edmund was okay I guess, but he was a real loser, I think. Nothing like any other Austen hero, but maybe that's his appeal.
I thought I would dislike Fanny and for the most part I did, but she eventually grew on me with her quiet character and principles. I thought the end was really rushed and everything sewed up too easily. I wished Miss Austen had spent more time on Edmund changing his mind about Fanny, but then she never did elaborate much on those things.
Still I like this one the least of all Austen novels.
