Personally, I think that sense and sensibility it's a really good book because it was ultimately a delightful entertainment. I liked it because the plot is also good  boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love, boy scorns girl  and the major characters were well developed and dynamic. There are only two things I didn't like. Firstly is that Marianne ended up getting married with the one she didn't loved. And secondly that while there was conflict between characters, Austen didn't allow them to really address the conflict directly and it makes more difficult for the reader to discern any true sense of feeling.

The most important relationships depicted in sense and sensibility are those between parents and children; Austen seeks to redefine the commonly accepted conventions of familial obligation and duty by implying that children must break free from the bounds of family in order to find personal happiness.
