Reviews with the most likes.
Having read Pride & Prejudice and Northanger Abbey before, I began Emma with the knowledge that Austen's writing style is not quite my taste. This was confirmed through Emma, though I did enjoy the plot twists and the romance. Still, I found myself skimming through entire chapters due to the sheer pointlessness of much of the dialogue. I understand that most of it was meant to poke fun at the society of the time (i.e Miss Bate's and Mrs. Elton's monologues) but I found it distracting and it definitely detracted from a smooth reading experience.
