One of the best Austen books with Elinor reflecting her later heroine- Anne from Persuasion and Marianne reflecting Northanger Abbeys Catherine.

I liked this book???
It was kind of a mixed bag for me.
It was jane austen's first novel and even her first novel was a blast. I just had some issues with a couple of things.

The characterization of elinor and marianne was near perfect, but for me personally they were less compelling characters than her other works. I liked elinor better at times but then there were times I was just mad at her.

And for the love of god am I the only one who finds Colonel Brandon's " feelings" towards marianne a little creepy and gross(though I suppose it was not that big of a deal at the time). He was a thirty five years old adult and she was seventeen!!!! It just grosses me out!!!!

Edward was okayish!!! Jane austen's other love interest are far more interesting.
I really liked the characterization of that shit piece of a man willoughby.

The writing was soo good its hard to believe it to be austen's first published work. Though its not nearly as good as pride and prejudice or persuasion , it is still soo good!!!
I really loved austen's commentary on poverty and money and marriage and how these things were
Jane austen's work showcases these fiercely modern ideas and stories(in general) that they will always remain timeless and I'm loving it.

A esta historia le di 3,5 estrellas porque me costo un mundo tener de nuevo el deseo de agarrar el libro para poder seguir y darle un fin a esta historia, lo deje en la pagina 140 durante un mes y medio pues sentia que cada vez que lo tomaba me aburria un poco de la actitud de las hermanas y la situación de que lo único importante era el matrimonio. No me malinterpreten amo a Jane Austin y varios de los libros de ella me encantan, por ejemplo Lady Susan es una de mis favoritas y me la acabe en 2 días, todo lo contrario me sucedio con Sensatez y Sentimiento, pues si bien la historia la encuentro bien construida y con una trama que puede ser interesante, no me termino de convencer el desarrollo que le dieron a las hermanas senti que nunca Elinor termino de enamorarse y de estar completamente encantada de su marido al final a pesar de que al final nos lo pintan como una de las parejas más felices que pudieron haber. Algo parecido me sucedio con el desarrollo de personaje que le dieron a Marianne, encuentro que en momentos se pasaba de dramatica por toda la situacion que le estaba pasand con su galán en Londres y se me hacia un tanto insoportable que solo quisiera pensar que ella era la que sufria cuando obviamente no era el centro del universo, senti que al final hubiese sido mejor para ella pensar, descansar mentalmente y analizar que queria enrealidad antes de tomar al coronel como el plato de sobra, pero pues esto puede ser por lo de la época y la importancia del casamiento que había en esos años.
Dejo mi opinión con el más sincero respeto.

Thoroughly enjoyed the story; however I learned the hard way that Jane Austen in audiobook format is a lot harder with a book that I haven’t already read before…
