If you thought the characters in P&P were insufferable, you might actually like Austen’s Emma—the main character is even more insufferable, but that’s the point of the story and it’s used to good effect.
Do any of you like this book?
I do, provided saying that does not imply its my favorite book ever. I like a lot, that being said.
Hard to tell why one likes/dislikes a book (which doesn't make the book bad, btw). Even less someone I don't know. What are you usually reading? What kind of books are you enjoying more?
I loved it from the very first paragraph ;)
It's a really great book and it's not that difficult either, but it's also not the one I would suggest to readers that have mostly been reading, say, light contemporary stories. I'm not being dismissive here, it's just that a book written for readers in the early XIX century had very different expectations from said readers, and readers also had different expectations. Hence my question to the op.
