Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters

such a slog to get through but it got better in the end. i wouldnt recommend this to people who dont give a shit about characters lives bc thats all this is
also “love” the casual pedophilia on brandons part good job yippie 

I thought Sense and Sensibility being my favorite Austen novel and my love for Pirates of the Caribbean prepare for this book, but the in fact did not. This book was weird...and I've read Ice planet barbarians.

Granted, there is not as much depth of character and perhaps the story did seem to lack originality especially in the shadow of Pride and Prejudice (from which the characters and plot seemed suspiciously similar to). 
However what shined through was Austen's wit and incredible style of writing. Despite being slow and the difficulty that I formed any attachment to the characters, the plot twists were still enjoyable and I was still hoping for a happy ending.
What Sense and Sensibility lacks is one main couple which assures the reader that they would be truly happy together (basically any sort of compatibility in their personalities) and Marianne in particular was very hard to like because her character was not explored in much depth and seemed to rely on her beauty or of others opinions of her.
Basically the book was slow but if you managed to keep reading it, you were rewarded slightly. Not one to reread and definitely pales in comparison to P&P but not Austen's worst.
Can't wait to watch the film (even though it is Hugh Grant and not Colin Firth) ;)

I completely forgot I was reading this! It was so boring. I've never had this strong of an urge to slap fictional characters. So much crying.

Why did everybody tell all their problems to Eleanor? Leave the poor girl alone. Just because she's too polite to refuse doesn't mean she wants to listen to your shit.

Also, Willoughby was 100% an ass, confirmed. But I didn't like Edward all that better either. If a man gave me that much headache, I'd dump his ass

I liked it. It was as good as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. The addition of Sea monsters was woven into the book flawlessly.

This book was a riot, loved it!
