Pride and Prejudice

Summary: Not enough
Review: I have been looking for books on CD (long drive to work) and thought I would try this abridged version of Pride and Prejudice. I happen to love Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice is a fantastic novel. However, this abridged version lacked some of the best aspects of the original story. They cut it down to 3 hours (can't be helped, I guess) and, therefore, the story really only deals with Elizabeth, Jane being a mere afterthought. The other sisters are barely mentioned. I am looking forward to when someone realizes that there are customers out there with CD players in their cars and they would like to hear the UNABRIDGED version of popular and classic books. I also felt that Jenny Agutter did not distinguish that well between characters, Mr. Bennett sounded just like Lady Catherine. I have listened to Sense and Sensibility with Juliet Stevenson and the difference between these 2 readers is amazing. You are really able to appreciate the acting skills of Ms. Stevenson versus Ms. Agutter on these CD's.

Summary: You are a goddess Ms. Austin
Review: Even though I usually shy away from anything labeled 'romantic'. What a great novel! I am on my second copy due to an unfortunate bathing accident. Jane is witty, smart and her writing never gets tiresome. Wherever you are Jane, thank you!

Summary: Pride & Prejudice
Review: This is an excellent book! It is clever with a strong plot line. It's beyond your basic theme of Romeo & Juliet. The characters are vivid and realistic.

Summary: It Doesn't Get Any Better.
Review: What more do you need in a well-written, crafty, and amazing novel, than Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy? Nothing. This is one of the most extrodinary novels of all time. I could read it over and over, and never get tired of it.

Summary: Clever and Witty!
Review: This was the first of Austen's novels that I read and what a great introduction to this famous author! This book was so charming and funny it was hard to put down and so easy to read! Elizabeth Bennett is a wonderful heroine. Many of the scenes left me laughing outloud! Mrs. Bennett and Mr. Collins still bring a grin to my face when I think of their antics!

Summary: Mediocre Romance Novel
Review: An Ok book for anyone who's into that sort of thing i suppose but come on, it isn't very believable in some places. Take for instance the supposed intelligence of one Elizabeth Bennet who is initially so incredibly blinded by her own prejudice that she cannot see Mr. Darcy for who he really is. Am i the only person who thinks that were Elizabeth so intelligent then she must be able to look at things from both sides of the coin as the saying goes. To be honest with you for it's time it is an excellent Romance novel but it's just the niggling little things like that that kinda make you think that had more thought gone into it it could have been so much better...

Summary: pride and prejudice
Review: Pride and Prejudice, in my opinion, is the epitome of a love story. I found myself in complete suspense to find out if darcy and elizabeth got together. Jane Austen combines 19th century wit with romance to create a book that you just can't put down. Elizabeth Bennet is a heroine that cannot be forgotten; her wit and sense are apparent throughout the whole story. Darcy is a mysteriously romantic character who, despite his cutting remarks, remains irrestistable. The reading itself can be a little uneventful sometimes, but Jane Austen saves it with a sarcastic comment from Mr. Bennet, or a witty remark from Elizabeth. This is my favorite book ever and i recommend it to anybody who can appreciate the 1800s style of writing.

Summary: Best Novel Ever!
Review: It doesn't get much better than Pride & Prejudice, people! A smart, witty, and sarcastic heroine like Elizabeth Bennet, a man like *drool* Mr. Darcy...and the burning question: can they overcome their first impressions of each other? My absolute favorite book!

Summary: Read this book!
Review: This is my favourite book of all time. Not only are the characters perfectly sculpted into lifelike images (both charming and deceitful), but the romance is original, heart warming and honest. Darcy is not only dashing, but mysterious and compelling. Elizabeth is simply charming and delightfully strong willed. The supporting characters are simply wonderful; the mother's sillyness to Wickham's deceitfullness, Miss Bingley's almost comical bitterness to the absurb notion that Darcy could ever marry Lady Catherine's pitiful daughter. It all comes together to make the most wonderful book of love, social commentary and humour. I read this in one weekend-I couldn't put it down. If you have never read a "classic" and love romance read this. It'll charm your socks off!
