Didn't love this as much as I'd expected after P&P. Austen shines when it comes to character and dialogue, and her witty satire on class and gender works very well... but over 400 pages, there's just not enough that actually happens; no real conflict, no real villains, no real danger. Endless dialogue to keep a situation from resolving itself like a Shakespeare comedy the second you pull on the thread just gets old after a while, no matter how sharp the dialogue is.
