Sense & Sensibility (alkuperäinen julkaisuvuosi 2010; vuoden 2011 painos)

I have no idea why this took me so long to read but I'm so glad that I decided to read it I loved the art style, I thought the characters looked phenomenal. I've always liked Pride and Prejudice more then Sense and Sensibility but I really thoroughly enjoyed the Dashwood's story this time. ( )

Pretty faithful to the original although it felt a bit rushed to me, but maybe that's because I'm not used to reading graphic novels. I liked that so much of the dialogue was original or well paraphrased. However, the book was missing the witticisms and snarky comments about society that Austen is so famous for.

There was also a glaring error that came up twice which really annoyed me: it said that Elinor and Marianne's father chose not to leave them any property or money in his will when in fact he couldn't leave them much of an inheritance by law. It seems like a minor detail but the fact that women couldn't inherit property or work or otherwise provide for themselves is the reason that marriage was such an important aspect of a woman's life at the time; choosing a husband was the only big decision a woman could make for herself. Austen's books all critique society for how little control they give to women thus forcing them into a ridiculous game of husband-hunting. This oversight also accounts for a lot of the missing humor which is in the original. ( )
