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

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.

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: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
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: 2 stars
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

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliance!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great,excellent,perfect!
Review: This is one of the best books that I have ever read.The story isn't very exciting for novels ,but you can discover lots of surprises and inspirations in details.Darcy was proud that he even didn't know himself till he met Elizabeth.We can't al ways make sure of how a human being's personality.It must take a long time to realize someone,and so prejudice is com eing

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Austen defines what classic literature REALLY is....
Review: Although surpressed socially by their financial situation, the Bennett sisters (mainly Elizabeth) are determined to overcome it. While their mother, a rather silly woman, believes firmly that all of her daughters must marry as soon as possible and as richly as possible, her daughters have other ideas. Jane, the sweet, beautiful, sensitive one falls for a man above her socially, and experiences first hand the sting prejudice can have. But level-headed Elizabeth, although unknown to her, has charmed the proud and prejudiced friend of Jane's love, and thus changes his outlook and opinion of the Bennett sisters. When this man Darcy saves the Bennetts' and one of the girls' reputation, Elizabeth sees the changes Darcy has made and loses her own pride and prejudice. This is a marvelous book about romance, social issues, and prejudice, as well as an enjoyable, relatively easy read.
