I liked the plot and the twists of the book. Austen's characterisations are always so convincing because even though I don't live in 18th century England, I understood what Elinor and Marianne were going through and resented Willoughby and Lucy. It was a bit too slow for me because I found it to be a bit longer than I would have liked and my attention was not always fixed on it. I liked the Elinor's character and Marianne's growth although I kept having to remind myself that Marianne was 16 and that I probably would've acted that way as well.
