Book Review: Emma by Jane Austen

Emma $7.50

I was so excited to read this book. I had no idea why but one day I was just like I really want to read Emma by Jane Austen. I read reviews saying it was a comedy and brilliant and funny and I was very determined to read it. Unlike most books I found myself reading it pretty quickly in the beginning, where a lot of times, books are hard to get into and pick up at the end. This was quite the opposite for me. It was easy to get into this book, especially when I noticed some similarities between Emma and the movie Clueless. I first noticed the similarities when Mr. Elton said he was above being with Harriet and then Emma responded that Mr. Elton is a snob. I was like wait, this is basically word for word what Cher said to Elton in Clueless, one of my favorite movies ever. Once I noticed that I googled ‘Clueless and Emma’ to realize that the movie Clueless is actually loosely based on Emma! That fueled my fire to read it even more! Once the Clueless and Emma world seemed to part ways towards the middle to end of the book I found reading Emma to be extremely difficult. It seemed like it was on a repeat cycle of nothing happening and became increasingly boring. Because of that, and the fact that this book was written in the early 1800s and I had to reread a lot to fully understand what was being said, this is officially the longest it has ever taken me to read a book. I definitely did not enjoy reading this book and on top of that I had discovered another first for me. I did however, really enjoy the movie! Usually, I rather hate movies after I have read their books but this one did follow the book pretty perfectly and it was much quicker to get through. Jokes aside, I am definitely putting anymore Jane Austen on hold for awhile. I am determined to read Pride and Prejudice, since I have heard that is much easier to read than Emma. But, I will not be indulging into that for a while!
