Negative Positive
Title: Such a huge disappointment.
Review: When I saw Masterpiece Theater was doing a series on Jane Austen and her novels, I decided to read them in the order the shows would air--starting with Persuasion. It was the first and last of Austen's that I will read. She may well have captured the mores and social rules of the time, but she didn't create characters I could really care about. I stuck with it to the end and found the revelations about Mr. Elliot to come out of nowhere and the ending romance to be something we could see coming from the very start. I'll take Edith Wharton over Austen any day.
