Book Reviews of Mansfield Park (Barnes & Noble Classics Series)
Book Review: Don't make this an Austen First
Summary: 4 Stars
I have read all of Jane Austen's novels and while I like Mansfield Park, it's my least favorite. Mansfield Park is more out of line with her others because the heroine is not a spunky, witty girl but rather shy and reserved. But I don't think that was my issue with the book so much as the pace. This is a longer book and is so not because of more action or intrigue but because some of the scenes (like the preparation for a play) drag on and on. Perhaps more frustrating is that while fairly pointless scenes are expanded too much the resolution to the love games is very brief and I wished she'd played up the eventual falling in love more. I would recommend the book but not as an Austen first because I don't think it does justice to her ability.
