So, right now, if you haven't figured out yet, I am loving this book. The characters, the setting, the beautiful way that Austen writes a novel: it's all rainbow and butterflies so far. But, I was just wondering, and it's not like life or death deal but, why does Austen seperate the book into chapters AND three volumes? What's the point? I love the short chapters because it gives me a sense of accomplishment after I get through a chapter (I think that's why Heart of Darkness was so hard for me to read...three chapters??? And then some paragraphs went on for PAGES!!!) But, enough complaining. Other than knowing how it's all going to end, I would say that this book is perfect.
