I just finished reading 'Persuasion'. The only other book I have read by Jane Austen is 'Pride and Prejudice'. The two books are quite different, I think, but equally good. 'Pride and Prejudice' is perhaps more exciting. There is a lot more drama in the latter, and I think the ending is very surprising, whereas for me, 'Persuasion' was rather predictable. I always had a feeling that Anne would end up with Captain Wentworth. What I really liked about 'Persuasion' though, was the way it examined characters in great depth, more so, I think than in 'Pride and Prejudice'. I find Austen's style of writing wonderful and I plan to read more of her books in the future.
