Pride & Prejudice (Classic Library)
This was the first of Austen's novels that I read and what a great introduction to this famous author! This book was so charming and funny it was hard to put down and so easy to read! Elizabeth Bennett is a wonderful heroine. Many of the scenes left me laughing outloud! Mrs. Bennett and Mr. Collins still bring a grin to my face when I think of their antics!
Pride & Prejudice (Classic Library)
Pride and Prejudice, in my opinion, is the epitome of a love story. I found myself in complete suspense to find out if darcy and elizabeth got together. Jane Austen combines 19th century wit with romance to create a book that you just can't put down. Elizabeth Bennet is a heroine that cannot be forgotten; her wit and sense are apparent throughout the whole story. Darcy is a mysteriously romantic character who, despite his cutting remarks, remains irrestistable. The reading itself can be a little uneventful sometimes, but Jane Austen saves it with a sarcastic comment from Mr. Bennet, or a witty remark from Elizabeth. This is my favorite book ever and i recommend it to anybody who can appreciate the 1800s style of writing.
Pride & Prejudice (Classic Library)
This was the first Jane Austen book I read and after reading some of her other works, it is still my favorite Austen of all time. P&P is interesting and so well written. Some people think that classics are a bit dry and something you only read in school. P&P is not one of those novels...it has life and the humor in which Austen writes will make you smile and dare I say..laugh out loud! This is one of my beloved books that I reread often.

I read this book after seeing the movie You've Got Mail. I owned the book but had never gotten the energy to read it. After I saw the movie I was inspired to read this classic. I found the book increased my reading ability. I am an avid reader but had not read anything that required a dictionary within arms reach. I am very happy I read this book and plan to read it again(something I never do) this summer. I am sure there are aspects I missed. Enjoy!
Pride & Prejudice (Classic Library)
Is there anything better than a sleasy romance novel. How about one from the late 18th century early 19th century? Not the literature that everyone expects but it is a wonderful window into the life and times of the people of a certain class of a certain time. Most of her works are over rated but Pride and Prejudice is absolutely not. You can relate to everything in it. Proving once again that somethings never change.
Pride & Prejudice (Classic Library)
I first read this book when I was about 15 years old, and I loved it. Even though it took me some time to understand the old english text, the meaning was still there. Just recently (now I am 18) I saw the tv mini series of Pride and Prejudice, and fell in love with it all over again! You can feel Mr. Darcy's anguish as he watches Lizzie from afar, and you squirm in your chair knowing that Lizzie despises Darcy because she thinks that he abhors her. Mr. and Mrs. Bennet make you laugh, and you can just feel the embarrassment that the younger sisters bring to the older ones. This is the most amazing story, and I do not feel that it is in the least an ordinary one. It is a hold-your-breath romance with comedy, intrigue, a little suspense, and coincidence. A beautiful tale of old English life, and an easy to love character - Elizabeth Bennet. This is by far my favorite story of all time. I recommend to anyone - including younger people.
