Book Review: Mansfield Park

Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
4 of 5 stars

Jane Austen has always been fun to read, and this is no exception. You can't help but love Fanny and desperately wish throughout the book that her cousin would finally realize her value. My only disappointment was the allotment of this realization to a few pages at the end. I would have liked to see more of how her cousin finally came around. Great book!

Book Review: Wuthering Heights

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
5 of 5 stars 

This book was a delightful read. This one has been on my to-read list for quite a while, and I'm so happy that I did read it. The gossipy style writing of Emily Bronte made an otherwise melancholy and tragic story much more enjoyable.  Nelly's ability to see the people she interacted with for who they really were and not who she wanted them to be was a breath of fresh air. Her attitudes towards everyone in the book were more realistic than I think many of the interactions we read about in modern books. This one is a classic for a reason.
