Jane Austen is one of my favorite writers. Her love stories are timeless and her characters memorable. Sense and Sensibility, however, is not her best. It may be just that I'm more of a Pride and Prejudice fan, but I thought that Sense and Sensibility was just too boring and drawn out. Elinor, the narrator, is very lovable though and she did grow on me. The male love interests just aren't as good as Darcy though, and the heroines are just not as loveable as Elizabeth.
