Summary: An enchanting read best of Jane Austen
Review: This book is one of my all-time favorites. Jane Austen makes her elegant ladies, country girls,and intriguing gentlemen alive with strong, wonderful detail. The characters were well developed, my favorite was Elizabeth, the strong willed protagonist. The plot is almost never slow. I never could predict what would happen next as the plot wound through each of the character's personal lives and through the society of England in that time period. I recommend this book to anyone who loves the classics and books that have many different levels of thought in the plot. I also recommend this book to readers of the Bronte sisters. Enjoy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great social commentary
Review: Pride and Prejudice is a look at times and customs from a point of view not available in books by modern authors.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Masterpiece!!
Review: This is one of the very few "classics" that I can honestly say I enjoyed. Most of them, I hate to admit, I find difficult to comprehend and relate to, but not this one. The dialogue was its greatest strength; it was so incredibly real! This book is so rich in its use of the English language. Pride and Prejudice is truly an enriching reading experience, and one that is guaranteed to be enjoyed over and over again. I just finished my sixth reading ... I can't wait for my seventh!

Rating: 1 stars

Summary: This book has remained my all-time favorite!!
Review: I have always loved classic literature, and belive Jane Austen to be one of the best classic authors! "Pride and Prejudice" and "Jane Eyre" are my two favorite books of all time. I think Austen was brilliant in this book because she is able to write so well about (and let's face it, fellow Austen fans--) such a mundane story line! The plot is very simply the story of five un-wed sisters and their very normal life at trying to get engaged. That's all there is to it. Why, then do we find this work so intoxicatingly enchanting? It is because of Austen's brilliant way with words...her descriptions of her witty heroine and handsome hero.

If you like this book, I highly recommend reading Emma by Jane Austen and my other fave-- Jane Eyre. :) I give this book six stars!

Summary: HUMOROUS AND IRONIC LOVE STORY/SURPRISINGLY MODERN
Review: Jane Austin wrote a story set in what i originally thought of as a boring period in time. Her story, however, is about five daughters and their love lives. The parents in the story are funny(the father is very sarcastic and the mother is obsessed w/getting her daughters married well off). I was surprised at how easy it was to read and how much it reminded me of modern teenage drama.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ultimate book for a romantic!!
Review: This is definitely a book I would want my daughter to read. I first read it in high school and can not get enough of it. I love the characters and storyline. It is amazing the way she writes. I love watching Elizabeth and wishing she was a 90's woman who could tell Darcy what she really thinks without worrying about the do's and don't's of her time. I live for the ending when Darcy calls her his most dearest Elizabeth. Romantics this is a book for you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jane Austen's gem
Review: This work is just wonderful and once you've read it, you can't forget it. Elizabeth seems so close to us, women, and Darcy so cute that their story makes everyone sensitive dream. With Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, P&P remains the treasure of Victorian Literature.Just read it and you'll understand.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of my all time favorites
Review: As a fan of other types of literature (Stephen King and Steinbeck, for instance) I can't begin to express the way I devoured this book! Not only did I find the character development incredible, but I also enjoyed how Austen brought in other themes such as extreme embarrassment caused by relatives (haven't we ALL been there...)the ability to laugh at oneself, the empathy for a family member that has been wronged and regret of a decision. I liked this book so much that I went out and rented the A&E production and liked that so much I bought it. This is one story I will revisit again and again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful and Beautiful
Review: I think this book is great. I just read it to do a book report on it (i'm in junior hi) and didn't expect to like it. I thought the way it was written would be more like anna karenina or something. I read it and totally loved it. I have seen both the A&E movie version and the BBC one. I thought both were great. I loved Darcy and Elizabeth. The ending leaves so many possibilities to be thought of. If you didn't like this book, guy from NY, why bother to write a page on it?
