Rating:  Summary: WAY TO GO, JANE AUSTEN! Review: This book was such a delight from start to end! The romantic "tension" between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy was wonderful! Way to go Jane Austen - you've appealed to me across time with this book.
Rating:  Summary: This book is the definition of a classic romance. Review: I adore this book...I read it over and over...if I could have 3 wishes, one would be to thank Jane Austin for her amazing novels..I have read and loved every single one. 2 would be to have a friend like Lizzy Bennett..she is the most admirable heroine I have ever read about..she is strong, smart, funny, and so amazingly loving...My third and most important wish would be to find a man like Mr. Darcy..he is my ideal romantic hero..he sure did make my knees go weak..time and time again. Everyone should rush out and get this book..if you haven't read it yet..you should be shot...Buy it now!!!!!
Rating:  Summary: Wonderful. One of literature's most satisfying stories. Review: Jane Austen's subtle wit and piquant characterizations are at their best in this, her most famous work. Lizzy Bennett is the most delightful heroine of all time, and Darcy will spoil women for real men for all time. The plot moves rapidly, the dialogue is clever, and each character is well fleshed-out without being overpowering. Everybody gets what they deserve in the end, and there is not a loose end to be found. Brilliant.
Rating:  Summary: One of the best and most engrossing novels ever written. Review: I've read hundreds, possibly even thousands, of books in my life and this is one of my top three favorites. Austen is an incredible writer who draws you into her story until you feel that you are one of her characters. It is comical, passionate and even sad at parts.
I have a hard time finding books that have appropriate themes for my age yet are still intellectually stimulating. This is an enjoyable and even slightly challenging book that I reccomend to EVERYONE! I love it! Rebekah Robblee
Rating:  Summary: One of the greatest books ever written Review: This book was a required reading for university. I was not quite certain what to think.....that is until I started to get into the book. This novel is a delightful and intriguing romantic comedy. The pride of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett's prejudice against him are overcome as they learn that love can and does conquer. Elizabeth was a character I could relate to. She was not afraid to stand up for herself and overcame conventions, like walking through mud to see her sick sister, Jane! Perhaps I am not the most qualified to write a review of Jane Austen's work, but I know what I like. This book had me laughing from beginning to end. With Mr. Collins' "speeches" and Mrs. Bennett desperately trying to marry off all her daughter's, who can help themselves? I am now hooked on Jane Austen because of this one book. Read it and experience it for yourself.
Rating:  Summary: One of the best book I have ever read Review: I'm 18 and I don't read lot and I was waiting to read Emma. So I read Pride and Prejudice.
I think it's a great book. I thouhgt that since it's an old book it would be boring. But it wasn't
it was great. I think the theme can still by applied in today's world.
Go out and read it
Rating:  Summary: Jane Austen is a genius, and this is her best work! Review: I love this book, besides the story, there is delicate sarcasm and irony that can make you laugh for hours, I can hardly remember reading a better book in my life
Rating:  Summary: It is a exceptional classic. Review: It is one of the greatest classics I have ever read. I don't mind reading it again and again.The auther beautifully portrays how love and respect for Mr Darcy gradually emerges in Elizabeth's heart. The couple after being united show that love reigns over riches
Rating:  Summary: Simple, delicious, irony. Review: I hate to be one of those blithering idiots who go from one extreme to the next, but Jane Austen's writing is absolutely hilarious here and deserves a 10. Elizabeth Bennet is the epiphany of heroines. She pokes sly fun at anything foolish, especially snobbish manners (i.e. Mr. Darcy and Lady Catherine de Bourgh).
In this unmistakable classic, Jane Austen makes the reader laugh at Mr. Collins' foolish speeches, cringe at Mrs. Bennet's crude behavior, and angered at Miss Bingley and Mrs. Hurst's rudeness and cool manners.
This is a delectable book; one for all to read.
Rating:  Summary: "Classic" should be redefined as "Boring" Review: Honestly folks, did you really enjoy reading this book? After paragraph after paragraph of needless description and rhetoric, one must scrounge up what's left inside their brain after it being destroyed by Jane Austen's pointless circumlocution to dig up what was actually said in modern English. However, I can see how older adults might enjoy this. If you're under 21, or like to have fun with the books you read, stay away...stay away
