Rating: Summary: I have 2 favorite books, this being one of them. Review: Jane Austen has a wonderful style of writing. She has written many wonderful novels, this being the best. 5 girls out with thier mother insisting they find a husband. The oldest falls in love, only to find that his sister and his friend are out to keep them apart. But the real dilema however is when Lizzy finds herself in love with the nastiest, most proud man she has ever met. Go and read this wonderful novel the first chance you get.
Rating: Summary: Amazingly Powerful and still in keeping with today Review: This is by far my favorite book! Elizabeth Bennett was ahead of her times, a lady who paled in the beauty of her sister. And I would love to meet someday a man like Fitzwilliam Darcy who can see through her lack of means and radiating sister to see the real woman whom he can truly love. And each of the five sisters represent a stereotype of women in literature in those days. The beautiful, the independent nurturer, the bookworm, the flirt, and the follower. Everyone ends up with someone in the end who matches their personalities with the exception of Mary, who stays with the woebegone father. A must for anyone who is a romantic at heart.
Rating: Summary: A beautiful, yet sensible love story. A perfect ten. Review: This is a story of love between a proud man and a prejudiced woman. It's delightful to see how the characters change as the story proceeds. Unlike most other novels that I read , the supporting cast is also elegantly developed, each with a character of it's own. Rich in content while keeping the plot simple.
Rating: Summary: A Fascinating And A Lovely Romantic Book!!! Review: I have read Pride and Prejudice 17 times and the wonder is that I fallen in love with it.The cheerful nature of Elizabeth,the admiration of Mr.Darcy,the family's joys, sorrows,hopes,fears have been so well described by the writer Jane Austen,that anyone can like it. The story depicts the charactes of the beautiful Jane,witty Elizabeth,their mother and father,the handsome Mr.Darcy, the Bingleys and the Lucases.Jane Austen's spirited Elizabeth,charms her way into the proud and cold heart of Mr.Darcy. And this love story is certainly CHARMING.
Rating: Summary: You'll want to read again. Review: Pride and Prejudice is by far, in my opinion, the best of Jane Austen's works. I can't really say what makes it that fabulous, but once you started reading, you can't stop. Jane Austen had fully developed the characteristics of Elizabeth, and made her very human. The feelings stitched into the story has made an impact on the readers' mind, enabling to feel for the characters themselves. This, I think, is a very important point why I consider this book one of her best.
Rating: Summary: Officially tied as my all time favorite novel Review: In case you are wondering, the novel it tied with is Dostoevsky's THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV. I have read this three times in three sittings. In case that is not clear, I mean to say that I have sat down to read PRIDE AND PREJUDICE on three separate occasions, and did not get up until I had finished it. I once stayed up all night long to finish it. Actually, I read it a fourth time, aloud to my then 8-year-old daughter Elizabeth (who was delighted to find an Elizabeth in the book). She liked it so much that she in turn read it twice. Just one of the great, irrestible book in the English language.
Rating: Summary: ONE OF THE GREATEST BOOKS EVER WRITTEN!! Review: WONDERFUL!!!! That is the best description of this wonderful love story. I fell in love with the book from start to finish. It was magnificently written and the charecters were wonderfully portrayed. It is a glorious love story which has much below the surface. It is simply the best work of hers that I have read yet. As I said before it is WONDERFUL!!!
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.
