I absolutely loved this book! Austen is incredibly witty, and the novel often made me laugh out loud. This was my first time reading one of her books. Even though I knew that Emma is a satire, I couldn't help but get really emotionally invested.
'Emma' was delightful. My reading was perhaps over-informed by the '90s film adaptions starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Alicia Silverstone, but they didn't impinge on my enjoyment of the novel as a separate entity.

After many years of abhorring Emma Woodhouse after the first few pages, I finally committed to finishing. How could I call myself a true Jane Austen fan without reading all of her novels? She only wrote six! I don't know if it is because I have grown older and wiser or (probably) have been favorably...

She believes that she is an expert matchmaker, but her plans keep backfiring and causing problems for everyone in her life, including herself.I didn't like this book nearly as much ...
