Summary: educating
Review: I admired Darcy the first time I read this book at the age of 12 and yet now again at the age of 31 after having reread this book, I find myself surprised to experience the same feeling.
Yes, he is pretty disagreeable in the beginning, but then I find people who don't intend to impress everyone to be more honest in the long run. Darcy's character grows on one as one goes forward in the story.
As for Elisabeth, she matures remarkably, in general I find the book very realistic , we are all full of pride and prejudice when we meet people and they prevent us from seeing many of their more valuable qualities.

Summary: No better than Stephen King
Review: While cultural pundits try to convince you that some literature is better than other literature, the truth is that all art is relative to individial tastes. Thus, it doesn't make any sense to think that a novel like this one is really any better than say, Michael Crichton or Stephen King. Aesthetic standards can't be grounded.Thus, don't listen to anyone who tries to distinguish between "serious" works of literature like this one and allegedly "lesser" novels. The distinction is entirely illusory, because no novels are "better" than any others, and the concept of a "great novel" is an intellectual hoax.

Summary: Classic tale of finding love in unexpected places!
Review: I was forced to read "pride and prejudice" for a high school english class...but i immediately fell in love with it...it has everything from love, humor, stereotypes, and anything else bundles into one heartfelt, lovely story. If you like anything dealing with romance, this book is a must read. I recommend it to people of all ages, races, genders because it truly emits a universal message!

Summary: A book worthy of being read several times.
Review: I loved Austen's Pride and Prejudice. I have read it so much that the cover is worn. The BBC movie version was almost as great at the book and very very close to the accuracy of the book. I have read Emma and Persuasion and loved them both, though not as well as Pride and Prejudice. You'll want to buy it so that you have it to read again and again!

Summary: An inspirng novel, capable of pulling one out of any funk
Review: I can still remember the act of reading this book, during a rather blase summer vaction in the middle of my college years. It inspired me greatly, maybe because I identified with Darcy, and thought that I could be a hero, too. For whatever reason, I enjoyed it thorougly.

Summary: Be a man! Read Jane Austen!
Review: I'm a recent newlywed who decided to raid his wifes bookshelf and this was the first book of hers that I picked up. Wanting to be better read and enjoying the movie "Sense and Sensibility." I recommend to anyone that is curious but apprehensive of Austen like I was to see a film based on one of her books. You will hear the use and cadence of victorian speech which will, in my humble opinion, make her books more accessible and easier to read. This is the first Jane Austen I've read and I am now bonafide fan. This is one of those stories where the destination is not important but the journey is. Within the first ten pages, the stage is set. The two headstrong protagonists, Miss Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy cannot stand one another at the beginning of the book. Sparks fly and meet with typical results. The characters are distinct and memorable. Mr. Bennet, Elizabeth's father, was one of my favorites. Anyone who is an admirer of dry "british" humor will find themselves in stitches. It is the first book in a very long time where I found myself laughing out loud and on more than one occasion. A moderately quick read for those used to victorian prose. I for one am glad that I got over the "girly" stigma that's usually associated with Jane Austen. It has made me consider other books in my wifes arsenal I normally would not have otherwise. I will, however, pass on her "The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" Great book. Enjoy.

Summary: Classic Entertainment
Review: Austen is a wonderful omniscient author and has a delightful perspective on people's traits and character. She realized that people are complex, and included their different sides in these characters. It's a feel good book, and we need those once in a while. Its like a mature fairy tale. This is my favorite book, however I only give it four stars because it didn't pose a challenge or have me ready to change the world, however I enjoyed this enduring love story.

Summary: Review on Pride and Prejudice
Review: "I"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." This is the opening that initiated the whole story with a click, that not only addressed the theme of this book, but also of a "universally acknowledged" truth.
In my long search for a literary classic that I could both enjoy reading as well as get something out of, I finally ended up with "Pride and Prejudice", by Jane Austen. Upon reading the first sentence of this book, I was immediately captured by the story liveliness and soon found myself hooked. In addition to the lively, vivid tone of the book, what enchanted me the most was the seamless way in which each character behaviors and interactions were so carefully woven together in an intricate plot. Some characters that appear in the book are:
- Mr. Bennet, a brilliant, sarcastic man who likes to ridicule the silliness of his wife
- Mrs. Bennet, a middle aged woman who is eager to marry her daughters off to rich and prosperous families when they come of age
- Their five daughters:
- Jane, who, being the eldest, believes in human good and righteousness in all human beings,
- Mary, their third child, who is always absorbed in books thinking about this and that
- The shy Catherine, also known as Kitty, who always followed her flirtatious younger sister, Lydia around in flirting with officers. However, all the characters and indeed the whole story revolves around Miss. Elizabeth Bennet the second oldest sister, a witty, headstrong girl, and Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, a very queer, shy man. At first sight, Elizabeth's assumption and observation towards Mr. Darcy pride made her prejudiced against him. Yet in the end an unexpected twist ends this book in a very satisfactory manner. Although many readers especially teenagers might be "prejudiced" against reading the old "classics", I found this book to be quite interesting. This book gave me an insight on the thoughts of the people during that time period, and some hints how they were suppress or discriminated by the class system.
