       Well I absolutely love this book, Austen is incredible in her narrative aspect of life between the sexes. But I feel i have to stand up for Mr.Darcy..so many people dislike him for his misunderstandings towards Lizzy and actually wanted her with Wickham which is absurd.  To me the point of the novel, especially for Darcy and Elizabeth, is realizing how peoples pride and prejudices can overtake them, can change them into something that they themselves cannot see. But falling for eachother, even stubbornly, opens their eyes to the way they think of people and the way people think of them.

       Not a fan. I know almost every other girl I talk to says it's the best book ever, but I can not stand any of the characters. All of the girls are so catty and just stupid. I did not care what happend to anyone in the stoy. I know everyone is so sad about the end, but I think the guy she was "supposed" to end up with was a big player and I am happy for her that she didn't end up with him.

       The first time I heard about "Pride and prejudice" I thought it was a modern, plain novel. The movie with Keira Knightley is one of my favorites. The most interesting quality of "Pride and prejudice" is that even if the first time you read it you are bewitched, especially by its ability of being bitter-sweet ironic and hiding a love story beyond stereotype ideeas of novel romance, as much as you`ll continue riding it, you will feel nothing else that it`s close to your heart and to everything one can desire from a book. Only in this novel it didn`t bother me the ideea of not having an ideea about the end . Also, I was fascinated by the language, wich of course it was an essential feature of the time. Jane Austen is a genious of literature. Definitely a must read and a must watch!!

       I was bit disappointed in the way the story turned out. There were, according to me, no 'real' conflicts in the plot. Some of the characters were one dimensional, and almost all of them too materialistic for my taste. The heroine 'Elizabeth' has many shades and is realistic, where as, her reticent hero lacks charm. He's definitely no match.

       At first i didnt want to read pride and prejudice having already seen the film, but as i started reading it i found it was 100 times better and that i could not put it down. Austens novels portray the fact that witty and intelligent women can get the rich men dispite their low status and bad conexions. I absolutley Love Love Love this book and recomend it ( and all the other Jane Austen novels ) to everyone that enjoys reading.

       Well I'm obviously in a minority of one here, but I thought the book was simply dreadful. I couldn't go on after about page 50 and will never read anything by this author ever again. It was just complete garbage in my opinion.

       I refused to read this book in high school because I thought it was a silly soap opera that was not worth my time.  Having recently gone back and read it cover to cover, I couldn't have been more wrong.  Austin does an incredible job of weaving humor and sarcasm into a witty tale of 18th century high society in England and the woes of young women searching for a balance between finding true love and maintaining a good appearance.

       I was never a big fan of classics because I thought they were long and boring. I have to admit that the first time I was attracted to reading Pride and Prejudice was when I was watching 'You've Got Mail' (for the 100th time) and Meg Ryan's character says she loves that book. A while later I found it in my high school library so I decided to borrow it. I loved it and I kept the book for 3 weeks instead of one!! It is now my favorite book of all time.

       The name of the book could not be more suitable.  Jane Austen writes so well that she doesn't require dramatic events to make her novel interesting.  The story is more or less predictable but still you read the book through.

       This is a must read!  The sarcasm and humour are put to use with dramatic language.  Jane Austen is a masterful writer.  I couldn't put this book down!  The characters are vividly described and the atmosphere is tangible.  Escape to a world long gone with flowing gowns, gentleman callers and emotion run amuck!

It starts and ends off very elegantly and makes u feel that u are actually in the book! I loved reading it! The movie is also a worth watch as it is very similar to the book!! The book is a must read and the movie is also a must watch!!

       Before I read the book i saw the film 'Pride and prejudice' in which Keira Knightly acts at least 7 times..i simply adore it. I had already read some Jane Austen novel's before this one but no other compares to it, it is my favourite. It's a must read.
