The Complete Novels of Jane Austen, by Jane Austen
5.0
I finally finished all of Jane Austen's novels!
These are my favorites:
1. Northanger Abbey
2. Mansfield Park
3. Emma
4. Pride and Prejudice
5. Persuasion and Lady Susan
6. Sense and Sensibility
I honestly didn't like Sense and Sensibility that much, strangely, I found Marianne to be silly and selfish because she didn't care for Elinor's character at all. And poor Elinor had to exert herself to make Marianne happy even when she was depressed herself!
I throughly enjoyed Northanger Abbey and Mansfield Park because I loved the heroines, the love interests, and the plot itself more than I thought I would, which is why Pride and Prejudice is a little bit lower on the list. I really like Pride and Prejudice, but I was pleasantly surprised by the others.
I just finished Emma, and I really enjoyed it! I liked how her character changed from beginning to end and I liked how her flaws rounded out her character and made her more alive in the book. It's nice to see how Mr. Knightley and Emma compliment each other as well.
Although I liked Persuasion and Anne's character, I did find it a little more boring than the other novels. Although I found Lady Susan to be hysterical, and I loved how it was done in letters! It was refreshing to see a main character be a villain, and see how other character perceived her in their "private" letters.
I'm most definitely going to read "Sandition and Other Stories" and I want read the Pride-and-Prejudice-based novel "Longbourn". I'm very glad I read these!
