Mert Can mertcandgn — This is the fourth time I've "read" this book and it is still one of my favorite Jane Austens (It has moved from my favorite on its first reading to my third favorite -- Persuasion leads the list and Pride and Prejudice is next in line, although I have long suspected that if she had finished The Watsons, it might have ranked right up there with Pride and Prejudice and pushed Sense and Sensibility further down the line). This time I downloaded the librivox audiobook read by Elizabeth Clett (sp?) who does a fantastic job. Just by the intonations and emphasis another reader puts on words and sentences, you get a different meaning, so I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this version. Each time I walk away with a different view anyway. In my teens I really liked Colonel Brandon and Edward and thought Sir John was pitiful. Forty years later, I find I don't like the male characters much at all, but I do like Sir John more and have a bit more sympathy for Willoughby than I did in the first three readings. Not in his treatment of Eliza but in his choice to marry a woman with money to get out of debt. Teenagers don't understand debt, but once you've worked for 30 plus years, you gain a whole different take on it. I also had less patience with Marianne, who nearly drove me crazy this time. The one constant in all four readings has been John Dashwood, for whom I still have an unremitting dislike and contempt. If Ms. Austen used someone she knew as a model, she has had her revenge many times over.

Nuttakarn Bingamit adletter — This book received a 4/5 stars. The thing that I love about this book is its ability to present deep, philosophical questions and themes without ever actually mentioning them. Throughtout the book, Gemma and her friends are faced with decisions about who they will be for the rest of their lives. In the course of the book, topics like fate and destiny are discussed along with the theme of free choice. Are our lives predetermined or do we make them ourselves with our choices? These are questions and themes to which whole college lectures are dedicated. Yet, the brillance of Bray's writing is her ability to slip them in without you ever noticing. It's not until the book is already finished that you find the questions coming back to you. This is definitely the kind of book that has you sitting there for a half-hour after you have finished it and thinking- and I mean really thinking. But during the course of the novel the depths of this topics do not weight you down. As always, the characters were superbly developed along with the plot. The clever play on words and the surprise events keep the plot fresh and hold your attention nicely. I started reading from the middle of the book last night at around 10 p.m. and I ended up, accidently, staying up all night finish it. Beware, however, that the first half of the book is challenging to get through but the second half is well worth it. The first half had a lot of expository information that needed to be conveyed and a great deal of events that were necessary to set up the second half, but the story itself wasn't riveting so it took me a while to read. However, once you get through that you are in for a treat! I hope that you all check this book out after reading the first!
