I liked it, but then Mansfield Park is one of my favorite Austen novels. I always loved Fanny (except for her name and the fact that she married her cousin). She was insightful, observant, and uncompromising in the face of pressure. Thus I really liked the novel. It was much more tolerant and understanding of the characters that were difficult to like in Austen's tale.

I didn't, however, much care for the ending. It seemed like it needed one last chapter. No "love at first sight" was needed. Just something a bit more homey and involved... I mean, we had just met Courtney. I needed more than Humphrey's gut feeling to like the kid.
