Emma by Jane Austen

[King Bob]

So finally finished and have to say it's my least favorite Austen book. As I said above, it can bee seen as a culmination of the earlier books, since the question of perception vs. reality is central to the whole thing, and it's coming from several directions at once - but the book was less enjoyable to me. She did accomplish the feat of making Emma go from ridiculous to reasonably likeable in the course of the book, which is something. I found it hard to get started, but after about a third it picked up and went smoothly.
