We’ve got quite an informal Persuasion fan club going!! I love love Persuasion. It’s my favorite and it always surprised me to find out people didn’t really bring it up much. Yes! Finally, triumph!

I still remember reading Captain Wentworth's love letter to Anne and was completely blown away. I'll admit when I first read all of Austen's novels several years ago, my absolute favorite was Emma. As I've gotten older, and reread some of her novels, Persuasion is now on top of the list. Perhaps it's experiencing more of life that changed my views and preferences.

I had to laugh when I saw your "worst" one, because Northanger Abbey is my favorite Austen and I always feel like the only person on the planet who feels that way, LOL. For me, Mansfield Park and Emma are my two lowest. But of course, it's still Austen so they're both still good, just too slow and plodding for me, I think.

Yes someone else who appreciates mr knightly and captain wentworth. I love mr darcy, I really do, but I think he unfairly overshadows other imo more worthy male leads. Also hard agree, persuasion is the best, I’ve reread it so many times I have a special and well worn bookmark just for it. The letter wentworth gives to anne at the end is the most romantic scene I’ve ever come cross in anything ever.

As someone who hasn’t really read much Austen (don’t kill me 😂) I found this super helpful. I want to read more classics and I enjoyed hearing your opinions on all of these, I also love how much you love Austen!

[mariastone]

Mansfield park is my favourite!! I love the darker undertones and the deeper meaning.
If you read Helena Kelly’s Jane Austen, the Secret Radical, which is a collection of essays exploring the undertones of each Austen book, you’ll see what I mean! That book really deepened my understanding of the books in a rebellious way.

I love Northanger Abbey, it’s so clever especially It’s satirical nods to gothic literature ! It’s truly underrated. Second place for me would be Pride and Prejudice . then Persuasion, and then Emma :)

[Bdaychick]

Finally someone who appreciates Persuasion :) It goes back and forth with Pride and Prejudice as my fav! Captain Wentworths letter is literary perfection. I somehow feel that since it was Jane Austen’s last completed work she gave herself the romantic happily ever after she wanted to have. Thank you for your review!

[desireedanielzuk]

I literally cheered out loud every time you didn’t mention Persuasion and it got higher up the list!!! The BEST of them and my forever favorite! 🥰🥰🥰

[laurawhichello]

I agree with this ranking entirely, from start to end!
Anne Elliot is my favourite character, I’m in awe of her unflagging kindness, her patience and her empathy. I love when she meets Captain Wentworth’s friends in Lyme Regis- there’s a line here that speaks to Anne’s (and Austen’s) character: “On quitting the Cobb, they all went indoors with their new friends, and found rooms so small as none but those who invite from the heart could think capable of accommodating so many.” Every single time I read the letter the captain writes her at the end of the book it legit makes me feel such a rush of joy for Anne! 😭❤️

I read Persuasion for my final English paper and honestly I lowered my expectations considering the low amount of reviews and less attention it got compared to Pride and Prejudice. However, I definitely agree with you with how romantic it was. Had me swooned, especially with the letter 🤫. Persuasion definitely needs more hype. 10/10 would recommend

[BookishTexan]

YES! _Persuasion_ is the best! I still havent read all of Austen, but am willing to Fanboy any time.

[t_mx]

I love all of her books but I think, Mansfield Park is my favourite.
I really like that Fanny is from a lower social class and her character is so solid and lovely. Besides that, the theatre story is really entertaining and it's tensioning until the end. I only wished that the love story between Fanny and Edmund would have been deeper in the end of the book.

[lynxlou]

Yay! Persuasion is my all-time favorite, too! Finally, someone realized that it'sthe best- I adore you for that! Great video!

[terrylouanndendinger]

Love Persuasion! I thought I was the only one who thought it was the best! Although I disagree with best quote; when Elizabeth’s father says “I couldn’t have lost you, dear Lizzy, to anyone less worthy.” I have 4 daughters so maybe my heart “feels” this quote!

[lynnhampton]

It took me awhile to get around to all the books, and I found I loved Persuasion. I’m tickled to find someone who agrees it’s her best.

[jotaig]

Persuasion is undoubtedly my number one top favourite out of Austen's 6 main novels! I simply adore Anne Eliot's character, she is such a lovely person, thoughtful of others, clever and connects with people, handles things so meticulously etc. Of course Captain Wentworth's love letter is top-notched ! Love love the book!!😍😊
