Rating: Summary: very fine and charming Review: This book is charming and i love when the author describe the old houses with appletrees, wild flowers and all that stuff. There's really something about Austen... ....what ever it is. This novel is very fine!
Rating: Summary: Real good Review: I never could actually sit down to read those thick unabridged versions of classical lit., until I read this book. This also happens to be my mum's favourite book and we have the bridged version. I read it when my mum recommended it. I didn't regret it. I went to the library and borrowed the unabridged version. I loved it and I still do.
Rating: Summary: Love-Story Review: I liked the book because it shows how love can turn sour sometimes and how feelings can change. But there are so many names in the book that you have to keep checking who is who. Sometimes difficult words are used so I had to look them up in a dictionary. After reading I thing the book represents true facts mixed with fantasy.Andrea Dreier E8/I
Rating: Summary: ugh Review: i know she is supposed to be one of the classic greats, but i just can't get into her writing (i force myself because i feel that i should read the classics, if only to make me a well rounded reader). i found the book slow going and to be quite honest, boring.
Rating: Summary: Mesmerizing and Magnificent Review: This novel took me completely by surprise. I had seen the movies "Emma" and "Sense and Sensibility", and I decided to give this one a chance. It is by far, one of the best romance novels I've ever read. It is old-style romance, and yet the language and the feelings of Elizabeth Bennet truly capture every essence of what a woman feels when encountered with different situations. Although we see everything mostly through the eyes of Lizzy, a person cannot help to admire Jane Austen's ability to let your imagination be transported, momentarily, to a world where human beings are not so evil after all, and love is worth more than what is portrayed today in the media. Although the movie is very accurate, I would strongly encourage everyone to read this novel. If it is, indeed, Jane Austen's best work, it is absolutely worth every penny. Let yourself be absorbed into this magnificent story of all-time, and don't be surprised if by the end of it you feel like reading it all over again.
Rating: Summary: Fall in love with it forever Review: When I first discovered Pride and Prejudice, I thought I stumbled on a gold mine. Jane Austen has been my favorite of authors ever since. To date, I have read the book three times in less than three years. I have fallen in love with both Lizzy and Darcy each time, and consider them great friends. Mr. Collins never fails to make me laugh, nor does Mr. Bennet. I always pity Charlotte in a way, but then, after all, she chose her own hard lot... Don't know what I mean? Read the book, and you will never wonder again.
Rating: 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: 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: 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!
