This is the first Jane Austen book I've read, and I'm afraid is likely to be the last. It was a turgid story of uninteresting characters whose parasitic lifestyle and overwhelming pre-occupation with trivia was stultifying. There were a few witty ideas, but the author really hammered them home so that any novelty they might have had when first introduced was spoilt progressively at the first, second, third, etc repetition.
