Yes, I have finally seen the last episode of Sense & Sensibility. I am still very much in love with Edward, he is absolutely lovely. Even Brandon turned out to be lovable on closer acquaintance though it was not Alan Rickman. One thing I really liked about this adaptation was that they had included Willoughby’s visit to Cleveland in a try to explain his behaviour towards Miss Marianne to Elinor. I do prefer the mini series to movie adaptations. It must be very hard to choose what to include and what not to include. How do you choose? In Ang Lee’s version had many of the characters been left out, but in this one most of them still included, and that is appreciated. The movie adaptations may feel a bit cut short but the mini series is wallowing in Austen heros and heroines.

I have just realized that I will spend a small fortune in buying the adaptations on DVD. Especially since I have to order them from the UK. I’ll have to buy them one at the time or something but they usually have package deals. At the moment I’m waiting for my Becoming JaneDVD that should arrive in the end of the month. Yey me!
