Emma

January 2015: I finally did it!! Emma does become so good about halfway through. I think I was working on the first half for about 3 weeks, but the last half I read in 3 days. This is my first Jane Austen book I've read by choice... I think that's a lot of the reason that it took me so long to get into. I find that when I read classic authors, they each have such a unique language and style that it does take some time to get used to. So hopefully my next Jane Austen book won't take so long to get into. Or maybe they just drag at the beginning. We will see. Either way, they story in Emma is lovely. I mean we've all heard of Mr. Knightley, but I do truly love him in this story.

Previous: I love Jane Austen's writing style. This is the first Jane Austen novel that I read by choice and not in an english comp class... and that wasn't until I was about 21 (don't judge me). I really like Emma. She's a strong female character. I always love those type. But there's a part where the book just gets slow. I've started reading it twice and never finished. I will not give up though. I will try again so I can give a real review.
