Customer Reviews

You are a goddess Ms. Austin

Even though I usually shy away from anything labeled 'romantic'. What a great novel! I am on my second copy due to an unfortunate bathing accident. Jane is witty, smart and her writing never gets tiresome. Wherever you are Jane, thank you!

Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice

A masterpiece. I consider this to be the authors finest piece. The only fault I found were the lenghty descriptions and at times the story lagged as is true to the time period. Elizabeth Bennet proved to be a worthy charature as well as Mr. Darcy. They were both very interesting charactures and in the end I felt as to kow them. I was much surprised to find out about Mr. Wickhams charature, he was not what I had thought him to be.

An excellent love story

I think that this story was very well-written and extremely interesting. The tension between Mr. Darcy and Ms. Bennett give the book enough suspense to hold the reader's attention while the other characters unfold the plot around them. Very entertaining and involving for the reader.

Wonderful and Beautiful

I think this book is great. I just read it to do a book report on it (i'm in junior hi) and didn't expect to like it. I thought the way it was written would be more like anna karenina or something. I read it and totally loved it. I have seen both the A & E movie version and the BBC one. I thought both were great. I loved Darcy and Elizabeth. The ending leaves so many possibilities to be thought of. If you didn't like this book, guy from NY, why bother to write a page on it?

Critical Interpretations offer much insight

Perusing through the hundred plus reviews, I believe most reviewers have read the novel Pride and Prejudice but not this particular collection of essays discussing the various aspects of the novel in relation to other classics. The novel is of course timeless and contains much universal truth. The critical essays in this collection offer more insight and understanding to this much-loved classic. After reading this collection, I am more in awe of Austen than ever. For all those who love the novel Pride and Prejudice, try this collection of critical essays to gain more (or simply to confirm your own) insights to Austen's greatness as a writer and her wisdom in human nature and understanding.
