A love story, Feb 11 2010
By Karin Moscona "book worm" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Persuasion - 1st Edition (Paperback)
Persuasion is widely appreciated as a moving love story despite what has been labelled as a simple plot, and exemplifies Austen's acclaimed wit and ironic narrative style. Austen wrote Persuasion in a hurry, during the onset of the illness from which she eventually died; as a result, the novel is both shorter and less polished than Mansfield Park and Emma, and was not subject to the usual pattern of careful retrospective revision.

persuasion, Feb 11 2010
By Kacey LaCrosse "big reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Persuasion - 1st Edition (Paperback)
The title "Persuasion" refers to the persuasion to which the heroine, Anne Elliot, has yielded, to her later regret. Several other characters find themselves being persuaded or refusing to be persuaded, as well. The title of the novel was not chosen by Austen, but rather by her older sister Cassandra; some critics believe she intended to name it "The Elliots", but she died before titling it.

Austen fans, Feb 11 2010
By Noam Josephides - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Persuasion - 1st Edition (Paperback)
If you haven't yet read Persuasion, you now have a second chance to do so. If, like me, you're already a Jane Austen addict, then you've probably read the book several times and will no doubt do so again. If you're not already an admirer of Austen, then you may be under the misguided impression that Austen wrote fluffy romances that were all about who got to marry the rich guy and where the stories were as archaic as the characters' horse-drawn carriages. Not so. Granted, Austen novels always include a love story, and yes, her books do predate the four-door hybrid. Nevertheless, her characters are as real and relevant as the people sitting across from you at the dinner table, in the office, and at your favorite dance club/bar/coffeehouse/bookstore/hangout. Jane Austen was as keen an observer of human nature as you'll ever come across in life or literature, and human nature hasn't changed a bit since women wore bonnets and men knee breeches.
