Mansfield Park- Jane Austen

Personally I'm dissappointed with this book. It seems like it was a 'much ado about nothing' sort of novel. Although the writing was clear and stylishly done (as always) the plot seemed to elaborate on events that did not seem central to it and no catharsis is felt at the end of the novel. The resolution suddenly appears at the epilogue and seems poorly done after the struggles each of the characters has had to go through. A good read, if you enjoy a plot where 'the problem is hardly recognizable underneath the amount of jibberish spoken about un-important, un-interesting events'. Perhaps i would benefit from the maturity of a 30 year old when i next pick up this piece of work.

Rating: 3/10
