Since its immediate success in 1813, Pride and Prejudice has remained one of the most popular novels in the English language. Jane Austen called this brilliant work “her own darling child” and its vivacious heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, “as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print.” The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and her proud beau, Mr. Darcy, is a splendid performance of civilized sparring. And Jane Austen’s radiant wit sparkles as her characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, making this book the most superb comedy of manners of Regency England.
I gotta say that this book was okay. I didn’t have a lot of expectations for this book but it still disappointed me in a way because I wanted to like much more this book than I’ve did after reading it.
The plot here is again too much about romance in a way, which I personally aren’t the biggest fan of. But if we look away from the romances in this book than I found myself enjoying the plot in this book a lot and I found it to be interesting and enjoyable read overall.
This book is mostly a character study of 19th century England and of its societies, courtships etc. I am a big fan of that part of this book because I found it super interesting.
The characters here was likeable, and I liked them a lot. There were couple of times were I was annoyed with the characters but still I’ve liked them. The moment were one of the female characters rejected a man’s proposal but then she found out that he is rich and he instantly changed her mind made me literally throw the book across the room. Talking about an 19th century gold digger.
There were couple of moments in this book which were really boring and I wanted to DNF this book. But I struggled through them and I found myself with positive feedback for this book. Of course not all polite as you might have seen above but still I gave it a high rating.
I Give This Book 4 / 5
