This isn't my favourite Jane Austen novel. Although it is entertaining, and as usual, Austen's wit and satire is cutting, I found the end of the story a bit sudden and unsatisfying. I did enjoy Catherine as she grew and gained knowledge about life and the vacuous nature of so many people, but I wasn't as enchanted by this novel as I have been by some of her others. It is actually a 3.5 star read for me.

This is the 8th book I'm "currently reading" ... this one for a group read. I need to finish some of the ones I've been reading for awhile! :-)
I finished this week. I did not like it nearly as much as P & P, but it got better further into it. She seemed pretty shallow. She was VERY quick to jump to conclusions based on little or no evidence. She wasn't a character I cared much about. Overall an ok book, but not one I'll read again probably. ...more
