The Bennet sisters Elizabeth and Jane are of age to court and find a spouse. Elizabeth find one person in particular that she will never court, Fitzwilliam Darcy, or will his charming ways find their way into her heart. This book is suppose to be humorous. I did not find anything funny or remot...
Pride and prejudice – words figuring heavily in my relationship with classic literature. Truthfully, I’ve never had a keen interest in the classics. I pretty much went straight from Nancy Drew to the racy stuff hidden in my grandmother’s closet…anything Harold Robbins, I was in heaven. I hadn’t the...
This is a well-written love story. It's definitely not love at first site, but the more they get to know each other, the harder they fall in love, especially in Elizabeth's case. She is a headstrong character which wasn't very common in those days. I enjoy the classics. My favorite subject in school...
This will not really be a review of Pride and Prejudice but more of an unabashed positive commentary on it. I might gush.You have been warned. Its one of those books that I just cant find any fault with. Pride and prejudice has been one of my favorite books ever since I was 14 years old and loan...
It is a truth universally acknowledged that writing a review on Pride and Prejudice isn't an easy task. Especially when you're not really enthusiastic about it. I have to admit, I had to read it for my English literature class, and I think that ruined the book for me. I had to read it, and therefo...

I've read this novel at least 20 times and taught it to high school seniors at least four times. I just perused others' reviews. On...
I've always loved the BBC mini series. I have watched it so many times - but I've always been put off reading the book for two reasons. 1) I find it hard to read a book I've already seen the movie of. 2) I had to read Emma in school and could barely get through it.However, Pride and Prejudice I h...
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." This is arguably the most brilliant opening line in all of English literature. In these few words Austen establishes the motive which drives her plot and sets the tone of ironic de...
One thing about hating a classic is that you know that there's going to be someone out there that hates you because you hate their favorite book. They tell you that you just don't understand it or that you didn't read it with the time period of its writing in mind. Blahdeeblahdeeblah. And maybe I di...
