Rating:  Summary: A great book for any high school student Review: I read this book in my sophomore English class. For me, it was a perfect introduction to the Classics. The language is similar to books such as Anna Karenina and the like, but there is an element of humor that even us twentieth century dimwits can relate to. Sometimes subtle, and sometimes not, Jane Austen keeps us on our toes with her eighteenth-century characters that somehow manage to be hip. No matter who you are, you will find yourself rooting for one or another of the characters as they struggle for something ... if not hapiness, then an extremely desirable position in life.
Rating:  Summary: I love Mr. Darcy!!! Review: I absolutely love the book and the movie. I was so sad when both were over. Throughout the book, I was wishing Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy to get together. He was so wonderful. It was so much fun to see the ways that they both developed as people and how Mr. Darcy finally came around to being a decent guy. I just fell in love with him, right along with Elizabeth. In the BBC version of the novel, the adorable Colin Firth plays Darct to a tee. He was exactly the way I imagined him to be. And, of course there's the sweet and stubborn Elizabeth, whom I really enjoyed. Overall, if you haven't read the book by now -- go get a copy!!
Rating:  Summary: Talk about never putting a book down.... Review: I have to admit I loved Sense and Sensibilty. I was very predjudice in thinking I couldn't love Pride and Predjudice better. Boy was I wrong! I was so upset with myself for finishing the book in 2 days, that now I want the movie. Lizzy charmed me with her witty character and Ms. Bingley disgusted me with her snide remarks. Even Mrs. Bennett embarassed me as if she were my own mother! Please if you ever think twice about reading this book, don't!
Rating:  Summary: Witty, charming and deliciously hillarious! Review: After reading 'Pride and Prejudice' I could not help but feel a little disapointed when I finished it. I couldn't tear myself away from it. I absolutely adored Elizabeth's sharp and witty comments, Mr. Collins' annnoying manner or Jane's sweet temper. I always wondered wether if Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy would get together throughout the entire novel. I would recommend this book to anyone who is 13 yrs. or older.
Rating:  Summary: All of J. Austen's books are classics. Review: I'm a big fan of classics, and books like Sense and Sensibility, Emma, and Pride and Prejudice, and I've found that I can always look to a Jane Austen book to keep surprising me with her talent and sense of old-fashioned style in writing
Rating:  Summary: MY FAVOURITE JANE AUSTEN BOOK! Review: All the Jane Austen books are good but P & P comes up top, with Emma and S & S following close behind. Lizzy is my favourite character of all time and I love Lady Catherine and Mr. Collins, he is so obsequious it's hilarious! If you liked the book, you should see the movie, especially A&E's version.
Rating:  Summary: Halrious, heartwarming, well written Review: Pride and Prejudice is the best book i have ever read. I have loved since I was 12. There is so much intersting things to analysis in the characters and the way they act. Jane Austen is spectaular. This book has so much hidden comedy, that no one should pass up reading this book. There is romance, but not mushy. I absoultely adore this book. Even if your under 21 you should read it. I suggest all 13 and up females read this book.
Rating:  Summary: I love this book! Review: In my experience, it is rare to find a classic novel that really "speaks" to a modern reader, but this is one enjoyable exception. This is one of my favorite novels of all time, and I recommend it to everyone and anyone. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll want to read it again!
Rating:  Summary: a superb work of literature!!! Review: PRIDE AND PREJUDICE was such a well-written book and so impossible to get bored with! My sides ached with laughter after nearly every chapter, every four times I've read it, I get something new out of it everytime. Anyone under 21 wouldn't enjoy this book??? I happen to be 11.
Rating:  Summary: Wow!!! Review: This has been my favorite book for many years. I have read it more times then I can remember and I am always delighted by lively reparte of the characters. Austen is one of the greatest writers that I have read to this day. A cherished favorite.
