Quite agreeable!

Its an excellent story and it deserves all of the praise it receives. I'm glad I'm in a book club that put this in front of me because I never would have read it otherwise! I've now read the book, watched the movie, and watched the BBC series and it's all great.

I've rated it on the low end because as good as it was, I REALLY struggled to get through the book. There's a language barrier akin to reading Shakespeare, and I eventually had to abandon the written text in favour of an audio book. I enjoyed it, but it was work.

All in all, I'm a fan of the story but I don't think I'll be diving into other Jane Austen works any time soon.
