Emma by Austen, Clueless by Silverstone - Erik Hanberg

Emma by Austen, Clueless by Silverstone

I read "Emma" recently. It wasn't nearly as good as "Pride and Prejudice" or the other books by her I've read, but there was some good stuff there. That said, I wouldn't recommend it over that book or her other good ones I've read ("Sense and Sensibility," "Persuasion").

After reading it, I watched Clueless, the Alicia Silverstone movie that was based on the book. Back in college an English professor who specialized in Jane Austen said it was a better adaptation of the story that the movie Emma (with Gwyneth Paltrow).

Not too bad, and kind of fun to see again after so many years.
