This novel doesn’t compare to Jane Austen. Evelina was a silly and mindless heroine I could not become interested in, much less in her quest for marriage. I was tired, by page 20, of hearing how gorgeous she was. Stay away from this book.

While this novel was obviously a large influence on Austen, it doesn’t really count for much else. A meandering, pointless plot about a naive girl maturing in the city gets ancient long before you’ve finshed the first of three volumes. Flimsy characters, dull writing, and a perfect lack of plot make tis one something to stay far away from.

I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a sweet and sentimental classic. All in all an enjoyable read, but the writing style never dares equal the skill of Jane Austen.
It has an appealing plot which, once you get wrapped up in it, is hard to straighten out yourself. Yet, I feel the plot could have been better developed by a more skilled novelist. Due to the fact that the book is written in passive letters (most of them Evalina’s), the characters are regularly flat, and real active emotion is missing. Several brilliant opportunities for dramatic events are glazed over in a “re-telling”.
But what the book lacks can be overlooked, and take the tale at its face value: a gentle like tale.

I thought this was a fabulous novel. When I first got it; I did not imagine it would be very excellent. That it was done in letters was one of the major thing that discouraged me. But, when I ongoing reading it it was a very excellent book with an equal amount of drama, romance, suspense and humor. But, my only tiny disapointment was that in some scenes it repeated itself. Like a name is permanently falling in like with her, taking her hand, or begging at her feet. It can get a bit annoying. Al in all, but, the ending is very pleasing and pleased.
The characters are wonderfully done in a way that intently know them. Mrs. Sewlyn, Madame Duval, the Braghtons were all done wonderfully. This is a gret thing to read.

Fanny Burney lived from 1752 – 1840. Evelina was the first book she wrote when she was twenty-five. The first publication had to be published under the name of a man before the publishers would look at it, but it didn’t take long for Fanny to aver ownership. The book was wildly successful, even though it didn’t’ make much money for Fanny. She wrote three more books after this one, but none of these really remains readable today. Evelina stands alone in this regard. The book is another one that is written as a series of letters. Evelina is not your usual heroine. She is bashful and to some extent deficient in charm. But she is gorgeous and young, and because of this there is a lot of optimism in the novel that things will turn out alright for her. That is why the book is so enjoyable. The reader sees all the difficulties in her path in her quest for a brilliant marriage, but somehow we know she’ll make it and things will be OK. This is reasonably a readable book, and I loved it.
