2.5
Not my favourite of Austen's works.
In fact I think it falls last on my personal Austen ranking. Though it plays with humor effectively it wasn't for me. The characters just weren't likeable enough, in fact, they were so darn annoying I barely got through the book. Which is actually amazing because to be able to write such a compelling character is unreal.
Disclaimer:
Jane Austen is on a whole other plane of awesomeness, obviously all her books are five plus stars, this is star rating is based on the JA system
