cristina_isabel 's review for:

Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
2.0

I'm not even going to rate this: It was, by far, the worst Austen book I've read up until today.

I don't really know what it is about Fanny, but she makes me never want to pick up a Jane Austen book ever again. She was so, so, so darn boring and she had no backbone (except for when she rejected Crowford, I'll have to give her that). Her infatuation with her cousin, simply because he regularly showed her some human decency and affection, was slightly disgusting as well.

Somehow she reminds me of Bella from Twilight: bland, boring, caught between two potential lovers and too indecisive to do anything by and for herself in her own life.

Hard, hard pass.
