Emma
Emma by Jane Austen.
The story about Emma Woodhouse takes place somewhere in England, I believe on the countryside. Due to the author being alive in the late 1700's to early 1800’s the story about Emma also takes place in that time.
The main character is Emma Woodhouse, a rich girl who everyone seems to like and finds charming. Though from what I’ve read she seems like a bitch, she doesn’t think before she acts and the way she acts and speaks makes me feel like she thinks she’s “above” everyone else in her surroundings. She also likes to match her friends and others with suitable matches, but thinks the idea of herself getting married soon is highly unthinkable, at least in the beginning. There are some other characters such as Emma's friend Harriet, George Knightly and a girl named Jane and some more.
I chose this book because I’ve heard a lot of great things about the author, Jane Austen. And that’s the only reason I decided to read it. Jane Austen is often referred to as a genius. And I agree, she truly was a very good author but I’m gonna go ahead and say that I did not like this book at all at first. In the beginning it didn't happen much at all and it was very hard to “get into the book” mainly because it went so slow and the conversations was quite boring. She uses a lot of “old language” as can be expected so it is a little hard to read and understand what happens sometimes. But after a while it gets better but this book was not for me. I would recommend it to people who are a little bit older and like to read long and endless conversations, and it would certainly help you a lot if you are English and know the language better. Even though I didn't like it many others did so I’m sure someone who reads this will too.
