Reading this book was an interesting experience. I got this book last year when it was on sale at Barnes and Nobles because I thought I needed a classic for English. I picked this particular book out because my favorite actress, Kate Winslet, is in the movie. Overall, I did not enjoy reading this book. Although it had an interesting plot and characters, the Old English writing style made it very difficult for me to focus while reading. The only way I could successfully read this was if I had nothing else in my mind, which was a problem because I have songs stuck in my head constantly. I also felt like there were a lot of things that could have been said in 5 sentences, but took a page to explain. I really do not like books that drag on, so this was not very good for me. The parts of this book I liked were the plot and the characters. The plot was interesting and I liked it. The characters were relatable and I liked how close Marianne and Elinor were. They cared deeply about each other and helped each other through their respective difficult situations. Overall, I did not like this book, but am very proud of myself for getting through it.
