Summary: A MUST FOR EVERYONE!!!!
Review: I first read this book when I was 12 and have read it every year since. Although I have read it countless times now, I still discover something new every time. The more I find out about the wonderful Jane Austen, the richer my reading of this fabulous story becomes. 'Pride and Prejudice' is romantic, witty, sad and frustrating (those who have read it will know that I am talking about annoying little Lydia). Mr Collins is a hoot! Mr Bennett is the epitome of patience, (a characteristic obviously developed by years of coping with his wife's "poor nerves".) And Lizzie and the arrogant Mr Darcy? What can I say about them that fellow readers don't already know? For those of you who are thinking; "What does she mean?"; go and buy the book and READ it! Don't just put it on the shelf to impress visitors. Once you have read this, you will crave more. If you don't, there has to be something profoundly wrong with you! (No offence!)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A perfect book for people in search of romance and reality..
Review: I really appreciated this novel because it embodies the painful and well deserved work of those women who lived a few centuries before us ... Jane Austen shows herself as a powerful novelist and gives us the feelings ...even if we discover her writings nowadays ... This book has to be read : it is a masterpiece !!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the best!
Review: What more can I say? Jane Austen does it again. Her novels are amusing, romantic and interesting, especially this one. I've read all her novels, but this one is my favourite! I simply love it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This one of my favourite books
Review: This story is about a family of five girls,Jane Bennet, who is the oldest, going down to Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty, and Lydia Bennet who is the youngest. It focuses on the demands of being married to well off men, the prejudices they have to face and the pride of the gentlemen who thought themselves more supperior. Jane, Elizabeth, and their other sisters have to face allot of discrimination towards their wealth and their family connections. Jane and Elizabeth are the oldest, the prettiest, the wisest, and the most favoured in the higher circles of society. Even so when Jane falls in love with Mr Bingley an 'Eligible' young bachelor, Mr Darcy and the Mr Bingley's sisters dissuade him from this 'most unsuitable match'. Her mother was vaulger, she had little fortune and her younger sisters would be a bad connection. Mr Darcy dispite all this finds himself helplessly in love with Elizabeth, and so the story goes on, I could read this book again and again, it is timless and I would reccomend it to anyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Is there an Elisabeth Bennet, out there?
Review: I loved this book. I loved the language, the romance, the characters, even the choice of adjectives... (tolerably well... , and so on) But the point is... Do these things happen, in the real world? Sometimes I have the feeling that, behaving as Mr. Darcy does in the first part of the novel won't take you anywhere but to live the rest of your life alone. And considering that I am a reasonably good-looking, tolerably clever, 30 years old Italian man, who doesn't see many chances of finding a girlfriend beacuse of his ill attitude... well, let me confess you that I am starting to feel a bit perplexed (and worried) about my future... Giovanni (from Milan, Italy)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best book!
Review: Simply put this is the BEST book I have ever read

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great book
Review: Usually when someone uses the word "classic" to describe a book,it scares me off and I go find something else.I don't recomend passing this book up though.It is DEFINATELY a book I would recomend(coming from an 11-year-old girl,that is saying a lot).If you like this book,I think you would like "Crown Duel" and "Court Duel" by Sherwood Smith.It is like "Pride and Predjudice" in a way,with a touch of fantasy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pure joy and entertainment from beginning to end!
Review: A timeless classic in literature, this book is one of the most famous books in the world. Not everyone has read this book, but everyone has heard of its name. Unlike some other great books, which might be hard to read&understand to some, the content and language of this book is accessible to everyone. Readers will be delighted by its humor as soon as they read the first page.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely romantic
Review: I read this book a few months ago and I couldn't put it down. Every chapter of the book is exciting. The romance between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy is amazing. It starts as hatred for one another and ends with them very much in love. I recommend this book to everyone who enjoys romance and classic novels.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: ZERO STARS: I HATE JANE AUSTEN
Review: I HATED THIS BOOK. I READ IT IN HIGH SCHOOL, ABOUT 9 YEARS AGO AND I STILL REMEMBER HOW MUCH I HATE THE PUFFY PATHETIC NARRATIVE OF WHINY WOMEN IN WANT OF HUSBANDS. It is with deep anguish that I note that there are books on how to teach this book in classes, thereby continuing the legacy of pain to innocent students of this day and age.
