Week 38: Emma by Jane Austen

Jane Austen happens to be my favorite author and I have read all of her books multiple times.  Yet I still find them entertaining and diverting each time I read them.  Emma is not one of my favorites of hers, but I do enjoy the book as a whole.  The story is a book that girls can still learn from, even in this day and age! Emma is a character that is constantly learning and making mistakes. The other characters in this book you also learn to love or hate, depending on who they are!  Many of them have such quirky traits that they keep the reader entertained throughout the novel.  I think that is what makes Austen's books great.  Her characters all have such different traits that when thrown together are bound to cause a commotion.  I realize that not everyone likes Jane Austen, but it is a fantastic book that has earned its place with the other great classics.
