I am sorry Jane Austen. I just hate this book. Her other books are so much better. These characters had no heart or soul to them. They were just dramatic when they didn't need to be. Long pointless gossipy rants. Not my thing.

"This book is unbearably slow and full of nonsense conversations and speculations that don't end up mattering at all. Yes, Mrs. Bates is annoying. We get it. Just say she "rattled on about nothing, not letting anybody else speak for the duration of an hour." instead of making us sit through the ordeal with Emma. 😅 From what I remember of the movies and series, this story really only picks up at the very end." — Oct 10, 2019 07:47PM

“suffering is not good in itself. What is good in any painful experience is, for the sufferer, his submission to the will of God, and, for the spectators, the compassion aroused and the acts of mercy to which it leads.”
