Book Review of Persuasion

Persuasion
Author: Jane Austen
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback

I really wanted to like this book, but I'm just not an Austen fan. Give me a Bronte any day. It may be because I'm a newspaper copy editor, but I just wanted to shorten her sentences and use more periods, fewer semicolons.

The story line is nice, but I didn't feel I coould relate to Anne.
