Summary: I keep picking it up
Review: I have been reading this book for the past year and a half and I don't mean it is taking me that long to finish is. I just keep picking is up to read various passages and am still fascinated every time I do. By now I know entire passages by heart but I can still find something new in it every time. The way the characters are described and the humour is just delightful. This book is funny, mildly sarcastic and (at times) (a little) tragic, all the ingredients a great novel needs. Jane Austen wrote a classic in the true sence of the word. It will warm your heart!

Summary: The best book I've ever read
Review: I love this book so much. Elizabeth Bennet is a great character as well as the others. In addition, the BBC video series was soooooo good. I bought it and I watched it 5 million times and it's 5 1/2 hours long.

Summary: Absolutely Wonderful
Review: I read Pride and Prejudice for the first time in College for an English class. I have read it several times since and it keeps getting better and better. The satire that Jane Austen uses has many layers and I discover more each time I read it.

Summary: A great book to read
Review: I read the book when I was 17 years old for the final exams of English literature of Secondary School. I loved it then and even more when the BBC sent out a series, that all Dutch people were looking at every week. It is a great book, written with lots of humor, sarcasm and romance. It is a must for everybody that loves good English literature novels.

Summary: One of the best book ever written.
Review: I read this book for the first time in high school and I feel like I owe it to my english teacher for introducing me to the world of Jane Austen. Pride and Predjudice is hands down my favorite novel of hers. I am so impressed with the superbly written dialogue and consistency of all the characters. While reading it, my mind became enraptured with the story and I felt like I was actually a bystander in the book observing Lizzy's and Darcy's relationship and how beautifully their feelings for each other evolved throughout the story. This book is definately appropriate for the mature reader as well as the young at heart. Thumbs up to the great Jane Austen!

Summary: Pride and Prejudice -the edge of human relationships
Review: Jane Austen - Pride and PrejudiceJane Austen , the youngest child of a country parson , received a carreful education and led a normal life amid the quiet provincial surroundings of the south . In the youthful happiness pf Pride and Prejudice her art is almost perfect .The novel present the edge of the human relationships , relations filled with contradictions and ambiguities . The Pride leeds to prejudice and Prejudice involves Pride . The universe created by Austen is a dramatic universe . First of all , between the characters and reader interferes the autor , imposing her subtle -allusive point of view . Unlike the linear novel , who consists in a succession of dialogues , Jane austen creates the dramatic novel , characterized by the superposing of several plans and using the writer`s oppinion as a fourth dimension . The novel Pride and Prejudice may be devided in five scenes , all very much alike the entrances of a comedy . The first act contains the appearance of Bingley and of his sisters , his relation with Jane Bennet , Darcy`s reaction to all these and the departure of Bingley . The second part points out Mr. Collins ` proposal of marriage fallowed by a third section , showing Jane`s life at Rosings and Darcy`s proposal of marriage . The intermediar act , the fourth , presents Elisabeth at Pemberley and the last act ends with the marriages of the sisters . At the first sight , both Bennet sisters seem to claim the status of main character ,but anyway , Jane cannot claim an equal place with Elisabeth ,because she is too flawless and furthermore , as Darcy said : the complicated characters are the most interesting ones .

Summary: The Best Book I've Read In A Long Time
Review: Jane Austin is undoubtedly one of the best writers of her time, and probably even of today. I would recomend this book to anyone who likes to read. Jane Austin actually makes you feel like you are living in that time period, and that you actually know the characters. She uses such complex words, that you are lost in the flow and beauty of them. This book certainly deserves five stars.
