Summary

Ok i need to say that at first i was super bored reading this book so i took really long to finish， there were a lot of characters and i wasn’t able to remember every of them and the biggest part of the chapters are just rich people gossiping lol。 BUT theres a lottt of good chapters as well！ I loved how Emma perspective of love gradually changed， the romance is super cute and you start to understand who she loves and why， the way his opinion matter a lot to her even if she doesn’t care about any Ok i need to say that at first i was super bored reading this book so i took really long to finish， there were a lot of characters and i wasn’t able to remember every of them and the biggest part of the chapters are just rich people gossiping lol。 BUT theres a lottt of good chapters as well！ I loved how Emma perspective of love gradually changed， the romance is super cute and you start to understand who she loves and why， the way his opinion matter a lot to her even if she doesn’t care about anyone else opinion of her actions， and her friendship with Harriet evolution is really sweet as well， the writing is really good and even delicate and there’s a lil plot in the end！！ I really enjoyed this book but would love it more if it started getting interesting in page 100 instead of 300！！ But even with all that i think everyone should give it a chance and read it！！“if i loved you less， maybe i would be able to talk more about it”- Mr Knightley💞💓 。。。more

Loved it！ Every now and then I found it dragged on a bit too much， but overall it was a capitative， entertaining and worthwhile read。

Creo que no hay mucho que se pueda comentar sobre esta obra que otros no hayan dicho ya， aunque admito que mi crítica cae más del lado negativo que positivo。Pues aunque entiendo que es una sátira y hasta cierto punto una crítica a las ideas y normas sociales de aquellas épocas con personajes un tanto exagerados que no tratan de agradar， si no demostrar un lado pomposo， caprichoso y pretencioso de la clase alta con Ema a la cabeza no pude dejar de sentir que la extensión del libro fue demasiada y Creo que no hay mucho que se pueda comentar sobre esta obra que otros no hayan dicho ya， aunque admito que mi crítica cae más del lado negativo que positivo。Pues aunque entiendo que es una sátira y hasta cierto punto una crítica a las ideas y normas sociales de aquellas épocas con personajes un tanto exagerados que no tratan de agradar， si no demostrar un lado pomposo， caprichoso y pretencioso de la clase alta con Ema a la cabeza no pude dejar de sentir que la extensión del libro fue demasiada y que por momentos se perdía la historia por hacer estos remarques de carácter en varios personajes （el padre de Ema， la señorita Bates， la señora Elton， etc） con páginas y páginas de diálogos banales y absurdos que terminan siendo tediosos y hasta aburridos。El romance por supuesto es más una ligera sutileza del que se resuelve hasta las últimas 80 hojas de una forma poco ceremoniosa， más que un par de diálogos。Y personalmente encontré la historia entre Jack y Jane mucho mas interesante que cualquier cosa que sucediera con Ema， si el libro se hubiera tratado de ellos dos hubiera sido mucho mas entretenido。Espero no ofender pero prefiero el retelling y adaptación que se hizo en "Clueless"， donde hasta la protagonista queda mejor parada。Y hasta ahora， mi obra preferida de Austen es orgullo y prejuicio， pues es mucho mas concisa y entretenida sin tener tantas páginas de relleno， y los personajes mucho mas entrañables。 。。。more

I highly recommend the audio version on Audible。 It is delightful。 I’ve seen the Gwyneth movie as well as Clueless a couple of times， but this was my first time reading the book。 It was lovely and of course I now understand the characters better。

pas le meilleur imo， Emma est un peu chiante comme protagoniste， et la fin est un peu random je trouve， mais c’était cool quand même， et basique mais if i loved you less i would be able to talk about it more ！！！

Great Jane Austen book！ I felt like it was a bit like a Beatles song， however; the ending went on too long。 Still， a really delightful， fun read。

this book was eh— it took me a month to finish this and the longest i usually take is a week！ i feel that this is too wordy and hard to read （grammarly reference） and most of the time it's constant blabbering about pure nonsense。 a lot have said that emma is an insufferable character， although， that's what i liked about her。 her arrogance and the way she spoke was unkind thought often clever。 a smart rude woman— my favourite kind。 i expected it to be about her adventurous endeavours with love bu this book was eh— it took me a month to finish this and the longest i usually take is a week！ i feel that this is too wordy and hard to read （grammarly reference） and most of the time it's constant blabbering about pure nonsense。 a lot have said that emma is an insufferable character， although， that's what i liked about her。 her arrogance and the way she spoke was unkind thought often clever。 a smart rude woman— my favourite kind。 i expected it to be about her adventurous endeavours with love but it was nothing like that。 it was more of gossip and peer pressure to say the least。 the conversations were dreadfully boring and mundane。 i don't even understand the plot of this book but it wasn't that bad— just overhyped and didn't match my expectations。 。。。more

Hmm I wanted to love Emma （partially because I adore the vision with Anya Taylor Joy and Mia Goth） but I just couldn't warm up to Emma's character。 Her narration was fun at first， but her constant manipulation of everyone around her with no remorse was INFURIATING！！ Adding points because I liked her dynamic with Mr。 Knightley Hmm I wanted to love Emma （partially because I adore the vision with Anya Taylor Joy and Mia Goth） but I just couldn't warm up to Emma's character。 Her narration was fun at first， but her constant manipulation of everyone around her with no remorse was INFURIATING！！ Adding points because I liked her dynamic with Mr。 Knightley 。。。more

Emma， while not one of Jane Austen’s romances， still has one of （in my opinion） the most romantic lines ever written。 “If I loved you less I might be able to talk about it more” LOVE

Definitely the most complex Austen book I've read。 I appreciated the character progression and felt like I grew up with her throughout the book。 My favorite character is definitely Mr。 Woodhouse。 I always chuckled whenever he spoke about his favorite doctor Perry。 The only thing that raised an eyebrow was hearing Mr。 Knightly say he's loved Emma since she was 13。 🤨 Definitely the most complex Austen book I've read。 I appreciated the character progression and felt like I grew up with her throughout the book。 My favorite character is definitely Mr。 Woodhouse。 I always chuckled whenever he spoke about his favorite doctor Perry。 The only thing that raised an eyebrow was hearing Mr。 Knightly say he's loved Emma since she was 13。 🤨 。。。more

Not gonna lie， it’s hard to rate this one - I adore the overall story but it felt a little dry and was a challenging read after the color and vibrancy of the 2009 mini series which I watch on repeat。 This may be purely due to my poor narrator choice on audiobook though！ I do enjoy the show more than the book in this case， which is rare for me 🤭But it definitely still deserves at least 4 stars because it is a work of art and my word， still one of the best love stories of all time - can confirm Em Not gonna lie， it’s hard to rate this one - I adore the overall story but it felt a little dry and was a challenging read after the color and vibrancy of the 2009 mini series which I watch on repeat。 This may be purely due to my poor narrator choice on audiobook though！ I do enjoy the show more than the book in this case， which is rare for me 🤭But it definitely still deserves at least 4 stars because it is a work of art and my word， still one of the best love stories of all time - can confirm Emma & Mr Knightley remain throned as the best Jane Austin couple after diving into the story again。 。。。more

Rereading after over a decade and I think it holds up。 Emma is apparently a polarizing character but I find her enjoyable and endearing - listen， weren’t we all annoying 21 year olds at one point？？ My lasting impression from my first read was that this book is funny， and I still think it is， but also makes you cringe when Emma is particularly mean and popcorn。gif when you watch Frank Churchill scheme。I also watched Clueless while reading and thought it was a very fun adaptation！

And they lived happily ever after but it’s also kind of too much。 The complexity is there。 The main character is both insufferable and redeemable， which makes her intriguing。 Predictable for fans of ms。 Austen but nonetheless enjoyable and fun！

hasta ahora la narrativa se desarrollaba a través de un grupo de mujeres que conocían a unos hombres y ya todo giraba en torno a la sociedad， y en torno a la incertidumbre de si habría correspondencia o no， y aunque en Emma podemos encontrar esos tintes y esos enlaces y relaciones， mismamente en la propia Emma que actúa como una fiel casamentera， las amistades y los vecinos ya están establecidos y todo es como se diría ahora。。。 genuino。 Porque Orgullo y Prejuicio tiene el misterio y los sentimie hasta ahora la narrativa se desarrollaba a través de un grupo de mujeres que conocían a unos hombres y ya todo giraba en torno a la sociedad， y en torno a la incertidumbre de si habría correspondencia o no， y aunque en Emma podemos encontrar esos tintes y esos enlaces y relaciones， mismamente en la propia Emma que actúa como una fiel casamentera， las amistades y los vecinos ya están establecidos y todo es como se diría ahora。。。 genuino。 Porque Orgullo y Prejuicio tiene el misterio y los sentimientos heridos y el ímpetu de un amor reprimido， pero Emma es intimidad y es cariño y te sientes en todo momento espectadora de una obra de teatro cuyo drama es cómico y cuya genialidad de la autora seguía por introducir críticas a la feminidad hipervigilada， las consecuencias de convertirse en esposa， y los convencionalismos muy tradicionales e ilógicos de un padre。Emma es una mujer suya， no una mujer de la sociedad， que se va haciendo querer， que también la incluye a sí misma。 Otros personajes femeninos de Jane Austen se ven llevados por la corriente de la sociedad y se presentan como inevitables ante lo que se ven obligadas a vivir， es decir， no pueden intervenir y quedan relegadas a un diálogo interno muy reducido， sea probablemente por su nivel social。 En cambio， Emma está en un constante juicio personal y de cambio propio de una mujer de nuestro siglo。 Es decir， no es objeto de un amor planteado por la autora y del irremediable y consecuente matrimonio。 Es sujeto de lo que siente， que podría llegar a maquillarse por su altanería y deseo de control， pero eso estaría totalmente lejos de la realidad。Es lo más íntimo y lo más honesto que he leído de Jane Austen， y también lo más complejo， porque todos los personajes se sostienen y todos tienen diálogos y su hueco。 Y Emma es una mujer que admite sus defectos y no se considera por encima de ellos ni del resto， y el señor Knightley。。。 Todo en ellos es puro romanticismo， esta novela tiene todo。 。。。more

Este foi o primeiro livro da tão aclamada Jane Austen que eu li， e eu tenho que admitir que foi a melhor escolha que poderia ter feito。 Emma é um romance que te envolve na ociosidade da nobreza inglesa do século XIX， ociosidade essa que faz com que a jovem “bonita， inteligente e rica”， Emma Woodhouse adquira o passatempo de cupido。 O que eu achei mais interessante neste romance é o poder de fazer com nos identifiquemos com cada personagem， as vezes mais com uns do que com outros。 No meu caso， Em Este foi o primeiro livro da tão aclamada Jane Austen que eu li， e eu tenho que admitir que foi a melhor escolha que poderia ter feito。 Emma é um romance que te envolve na ociosidade da nobreza inglesa do século XIX， ociosidade essa que faz com que a jovem “bonita， inteligente e rica”， Emma Woodhouse adquira o passatempo de cupido。 O que eu achei mais interessante neste romance é o poder de fazer com nos identifiquemos com cada personagem， as vezes mais com uns do que com outros。 No meu caso， Emma se tornou um reflexo de mim mesma， em diversos momentos era como se estivesse me olhando no espelho de meu quarto。 Jane Austen sabe escrever sobre o mais íntimo do mundo feminino que somente nós mulheres poderíamos entender。 Enquanto lia， sentia como se estivesse em contato com uma carta endereçada a todas as meninas。 Jane escreve de mulher para mulher。 Além de tudo isso， não posso deixar de destacar os incríveis plot twists。 Simplesmente delicioso ler esse livro na ociosidade das minhas férias。 。。。more

4。5-。 Easily Austen’s funniest novel and one of her most re-readable， it was overall a great pleasure to revisit this one。 Emma， while purposefully flawed， has never really bothered me as a lead。 I very much experience her perspective in the way I would a Blair from Gossip Girl。 I’m not going to be her best friend， but I’ll very much enjoy her blunders from afar。 Her spoiled nature makes the character growth in this novel， well， a novelty。 Oh and Mr。 Knightly。 Nothing else to say on that。 My lit 4。5-。 Easily Austen’s funniest novel and one of her most re-readable， it was overall a great pleasure to revisit this one。 Emma， while purposefully flawed， has never really bothered me as a lead。 I very much experience her perspective in the way I would a Blair from Gossip Girl。 I’m not going to be her best friend， but I’ll very much enjoy her blunders from afar。 Her spoiled nature makes the character growth in this novel， well， a novelty。 Oh and Mr。 Knightly。 Nothing else to say on that。 My literary brain would rate this at near perfect， but my modern sensibility is always a bit frustrated with some of the dynamics presented in the last few chapters。 I won’t spoil， but to say if I had read it in the 1800s， neither dynamic would be an issue。 Alas， it’s 2024 and it keeps this one closer to a 4。 。。。more

The next installment of tackling my lack of classics reading - Emma！ If I had to compare them I would definitely rank Pride and Prejudice above - it felt a bit more refined in terms of world building and relationships， but both very good。 A few things definitely haven't aged well - Knightley saying he'd been in love with her since she was 13 （at age 29）， and Mrs Weston's pregnancy and baby being such an insignificant event， but I guess that's just how it was in wealthy families in that era。 Some The next installment of tackling my lack of classics reading - Emma！ If I had to compare them I would definitely rank Pride and Prejudice above - it felt a bit more refined in terms of world building and relationships， but both very good。 A few things definitely haven't aged well - Knightley saying he'd been in love with her since she was 13 （at age 29）， and Mrs Weston's pregnancy and baby being such an insignificant event， but I guess that's just how it was in wealthy families in that era。 Some beautiful Surrey scenery， fun to imagine all the places I find myself in the Surrey countryside as they were back then with carriages rolling through。"It was a sweet view - sweet to the eye and the mind。 English verdure， English culture， English comfort， seen under a sun bright， without being oppressive。" 。。。more
