While this text is the latest of hers that were published (it was released posthumously) and may not completely reflect on the style or quality of her earlier works, I found this particular novel to actually be a fairly interesting read. I initially picked it up for my Brit Lit from 1798 class, and though hesitant (I have avoided reading Austen in the past for fear that I would be bored to death), I found myself really enjoying Austen's often-comical use of free indirect discourse in her narration and her commentary on the behaviors of women and men, both interpersonally and educationally (examine the reading habits and discussions of the characters for more on that). A pleasant surprise of a novel.

After watching Mansfield Park on DVD last night, I had the whim to read this novel. I have the movie on DVD (actually two versions) but oddly enough, had yet to read the book. I thought that it was quite lovely. Its not my favorite Austen novel (Mansfield Park is my favorite), but it is close. I think the story could take place today and it would have the same meaning. That is what is great about many of Austen’s novels. They have meaning for us in our lives today.
Jane Austen's books seem to be very insightful and I always appreciate the gained wisdom. Sometimes the pace was a little slow for me, but I suspect that is just the result of a change in the times.
This is such an overlooked Austen novel. Anne Eliot is such an interesting mix of strength and vulnerability, Austen really created an interesting character, perhaps a reflection of herself? We'll never know. I re-read it about twice a year, I'm still anxoius to see how it ends every time I read it!
