I find it hard to decide whether or not I love Jane Austen's writing or hate it. Sense and Sensibility was the first book I've read by her. I really enjoyed the story but I'm not sold on the writing. I haven't really read a lot of the classics. I read half of "The Tale Of Two Cities" by Dickens in grade 10 but I never finished it. Everything was so wordy.
If I hadn't have watched the movie before I read the book I would have had no clue what was going on in Sense and Sensibility. If I re-read it in a few years I might fall completely in love with everything that is Jane Austen but for now I'm going to stay on the cusp.
I give the book a ten out of ten for plot and a five out of ten for style. It is a really good book it's just hard to read.
