Emma

3.5/5 I do love Jane Austen, but I always forget how slow her books can read. This was my second read through of Emma and I while I did enjoy it more this time, I'm afraid she is just not my favorite Austen heroine. Unfortunately there are just some things that date Emma in a ways that doesn't seem to date Pride and Prejudice.

Emma comes across as more rude and spoiled and while she is able to admit her faults, her attitude towards Harriet really never comes across as little more than condescending for most of the book.

I much prefer modern adaptions such as Clueless but more so in the YouTube series Emma Approved. I feel like Emma fits better in a more modern setting and not in 1700's England.
