Emma

a Modern Retelling
Dec 15, 2016JCLChristinD rated this title 1.5 out of 5 stars
If you love Alexander McCall Smith, this may be an enjoyable read. If you love Jane Austen, and her Emma, expect to be annoyed. It takes creative re-imagining to make a story about 19th century class and social roles work in a modern setting. It takes wit and charm make the character of Emma work. All of that is lacking here. If you want to see a modern take on Emma that does work, you should definitely watch Clueless.
