A review by hairymclary28
Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

4.0

I really enjoyed this. I started reading it and thought, "how can a simple love story be so long?" But it's not a simple love story: it's got so many plot twists and recalling factors which add a lot of depth to the book. And, as it is Jane Austen, once you get into the style of writing, her tone is fantastic. It's not as funny as Northanger Abbey, but it has more plot. Her dry humour and biting sarcasm are brilliant. There's one conversation, between Lucy and Elinor, where the reader is squirming although their words seem perfectly cordial. Yeah, good read. Definitely.
