It's done! Warning: This review will mention elements of the story with the idea you've read this book before. ------------------------------------------ I've been waiting to write that line forever. Sense and Sensibility is the first Austen book I ever read and I was less then thrilled by it. For...
When I was a kid, growing up on the outskirts of a small city in central NY, I used to gravitate to movies that were set in Gotham. One of my favorites was My Sister Eileen which centers on the Sherwood sisters from Ohio, who are out to stake claim to their careers from their basement apartment in t...
So, where are the dragons? No, seriously, where are my dragons? (I really hope everyone has read my review for Tooth and Claw, which I wrote recently, and so have on my mind. Otherwise, that first sentence will seem rather opaque.) I'm getting very close to having read all of Jane Austen's books. ...
It's not in my Top Three Austens but it's probably the best of the rest. I found something about Marianne terribly grating but I will probably reread it with a little more sense of perspective and hopefully not find her so much of a snivelling idiot. I'll have more to say if I do reread, I'm sure!

Yes! I've finally finished a book. Haven't been very finishy lately. Review to come soon. I will say that I did not enjoy this one quite as much as Pride and Prejudice; this one almost seems like practice for that one.
Sisters are usually important in Austen's books, although they're not always close, and are usually in the background. This book is unusual in having two contrasting heroines in Elinor and Marianne. Unlike say Elizabeth and Jane of Pride and Prejudice the two Dashwood sisters here both grow and lear...
I liked this one a lot more than I liked Emma (even after my second reading of said book completed just two days ago). It is, perhaps, unfair to compare the two, since Emma is the wealthiest of all Jane Austen's heroines and the Dashwoods are well off, but not really rich. I found several characters...
