Rating books like this is weird. Four stars doesn't mean "this is great literature and is going to stand the test of time" -- four stars on this book means "I enjoyed reading this, it was the kind of light, fun Austen-related reading I needed today when I am not feeling well."
As I try to catch up on reviews, I'll keep this short and sweet. Rather than spending hours reading the book, just watch the movie. Nothing happens in the book that the movie doesn't manage to capture. And also, be prepared for a lot of cheesiness.
Since I finally finished reading through all of Jane Austen's full novels, I decided to give this modern ode to Austen a try. The book did have some interesting parts and I enjoyed the ending, but that was about it. I would probably watch the movie if I see it on TV.

The Pride and Prejudice TV movie is the reason that to this day I will always love Colin Firth, ...
I've read it in one sitting and really recommend it for any romantic person. I mean, you might really enjoy it if you do not expect some sort of high lit. I didn't find any faults in the narrative, the writing style was light, easy to read, and quite funny and clean, which were two main factors for ...
Quick-read this before seeing the film (preferred the book).
