This is the usual Austen story of the rich middle classes being self obsessed. An insufferable young woman tries to get people together even though they may be on different strata of society and therefore obviously unsuited. She causes hilarious chaos wherever she goes. Lol. There's probably some irony in there somewhere but the book probably needs to be read two or three times to get all the subtle nuances of Miss Austen's carefully crafted masterpiece. Don't think I'll bother. As usual the book is grammatically correct and the words are chosen so precisely that it could be a legal document. The first half of the book is long and tedious. The second half of the book is less tedious. All the young ladies end up with the right men, but not necessarily in the right order.

I've read this book before, but enjoyed reading it again. It's an easy read once you become accustomed to the style of writing and the language. Happy endings all around, the literary version of a "chick flick"!

At first I hated Emma but grew to love her even more than Elizabeth :O

Only the most committed Austen fans will be able to extract a sense of enjoyment from this.

Love the book hence why I downloaded it but I only got 20 pages :s

Was not as easy as 'Pride and Prejudice' to get into reading but just as good.

Excellent story and brilliant characters.

Fabulous

This is just degrading to women, makes them all look like self serving, petty air heads.

It really is a good book, and very funny, but it was dragged out. Certain chapters were completely unnecessary

I liked reading it
