I agree that it's especially difficult to go on reading when we're no attracted to the main characters. :) I definitely found the story slowly picking up.

But I strangely enjoyed it. :) But I agree that seeing it gives more appreciation. I’m planning to watch the older film adaptation. The story slowly did pick up.

Lol. I enjoyed her being boring. Heehee. :) Seriously, I think I appreciated this one because it's different from the previous Austen novels that I read. But of course, I haven't read Pride and Prejudice yet and the others. Which I think are far better than Mansfield Park. :) I’m beginning to realize I’m really relatively weird. Lol.

I've read that this is the least fave of the Austen fans. But I liked it. :) I'm having a hard time to catch up in reading schedule, too. So many things to do. Heehee. Try to read with us in the other novels once you get the time. :) Maybe I’m weird as well. I’ve read that this is the least fave of the Austen fans.
