"You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone forever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own, than when you almost broke it eight years and a half ago." 
 Ah, Austen, How do I love thy writing, let me count the ways! I'm at an absolute reader's bliss when reading Austen. Such wit and charisma applied to a favorite girly genre. 
 How do the likes of E.L. Jamesand Jamie McGuire have the audacity to call their books Romantic, when such profound works of art, such as Austen's novels, exist. It's embarrassing and shameful. 
 Persuasion covers the same topic as all of Austen's novels; love in the 19th century. The story was sweet, though I felt the ending to be a bit rushed, I wanted, no, needed , more. We explored Anne's emotions thoroughly, yet Captain Wentworth remained a secret to us. Even the ending, barely gave us a glimmer into his thoughts. 
 The book still gets a 4 for it's enjoyable writing, yet, as far as plot lines go, Sense and Sensibility is still at the top of my list.
