I really liked the character of Anne, the minus point is because it is very slow paced and people around Anne are very very annoying

An indulgent romance book but make it fancy and I can brag about reading it

The characters, writing and pacing of this story are amazing. Persuasion differs from Austen's earlier works in that the majority of the story is told through Anne Elliot's eyes, therefore the reader is often not privy to scenes and information Anne's character does not experience. This narration device, and the fact that Anne Elliot is no Dashwood, Bennet, Price or Woodhouse, give Persuasion an entirely different feel from Austen's other novels, and not in a bad way!!

I love Austen so much that I can't give any of her works less than three stars, but this one is definitely my least favourite. Until the last two chapters it was very underwhelming.
