This is definitely my least favourite of the 5 Jane Austen books I've read so far. I found the story only slightly interesting and it seemed to take forever to get through, never the sign of a good read. I also found the ending a bit ridiculous and dumb. There was never any sign that Mr Crawford was...
Although Austen's books are labeled romance, they often have very little romance in them. This book has Fanny in love with her cousin and completely aware of it, but he doesn't love her back until the very last chapter.
Really more of a 2.5 but I'm gonna skew low on this because I just...Fanny Price. She feels so incredibly un-Austenian, as a main character, and beyond that I just sort of found her irritating. She's a wet blanket on any sort of fun anyone wants to have and seeing as she does NOTHING throughout th...
Mansfield Park is probably Austen's least liked novel. Northanger Abbey may be flawed, but it's a romp and a quick read; Persuasion may be dark, but it's tender and passionate, and contains quite possibly Austen's greatest proposal ever. But what does Mansfield Park have to offer? A heroine who poss...
I loved Edmund. And Fanny Price, you're just adorable. In short, I loved this book! The first Austen book that got me absolutely floored. Her style, seriously is captivating. Maybe her books are not that complicated after all. Or maybe its just me. Whatever it is, I'm in for more of her books. Soon!
Despite enticing film tie-in cover, the actual romance between our heroine and the hero starts and ends with the last chapter of the novel, and without much fuss. It seemed as if Jane Austen got tired of the story when it at last came to its conclusion, after 400 pages of meticulous descriptions of ...
"I can not but think good horsemanship has a great deal to do with the mind." Jane Austen always did a great job of planting ridiculous declarations in the mouths of characters she wished to discredit. Character was her strong suit and there's some good'uns here in.Within Mansfield Park there are ch...
I know this makes me some sort of peculiar alien person but Mansfield Park really does give Persuasion a run for its money for the exalted position of my favourite Austen. I kind of just ... totally love Fanny Price. I know she seems pretty spiritless but that's because she has a miserable life. ...
How would I describe "Mansfield Park" by Jane Austen? As the perfect mixture of tragedy and comedy. Not as much a love story, as a study in people's deceiving appearances and their general lack of morality - which once and for all underlines the fact that Austen was no Romantic, as some people like ...
