Sense and Sensibility
Sunday, August 12th, 2007By Jane Austen
-pgs: 282
Eudora Welty described this book, “As nearly flawless as any fiction could be.” I would have to agree wholeheartedly. I was extremely engaged and involved in this story. The characters and the flow of the events in the story keep one’s attention. You find yourself turning pages quickly and rooting for certain outcomes to occur. In addition, there are several surprises in this story which helps keep your attention. I, unfortunately, saw the film version of this first with Hugh Grant and Emma Thompson. However, reading this was even more fulfilling than watching it. Austen truly had an excellent command of language and how to tell a story. A superbly written novel.
