It's good! Simple, pure, short. Anne is a very solid main character, although she's not as entertaining as Lizzie or Emma. Captain Wentworth is moderately swoon-worthy (Mr.Darcy remains the swoon-worthiest for me, however). He does have really great letter writing skills - "I am half-agony, half-hope"? Dreamy! Not my favorite Austen, but it is still very sweet and very good.

EDIT: After my third reread, I'm falling in love with this book more and more. I liked Anne all the more, and Captain Wentworth finally clicked. Still not my favorite Austen novel - I prefer the ones that are wittier - but it's so sweet and lovely that you can't not like it.
