Pride and Prejudice (Penguin Classics)

Rating:
Summary: A perfect book for people in search of romance and reality..
Review: I really appreciated this novel because it embodies the painful and well deserved work of those women who lived a few centuries before us ... Jane Austen shows herself as a powerful novelist and gives us the feelings ...even if we discover her writings nowadays ... This book has to be read : it is a masterpiece !!

Summary: This one of my favourite books
Review: This story is about a family of five girls,Jane Bennet, who is the oldest, going down to Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty, and Lydia Bennet who is the youngest. It focuses on the demands of being married to well off men, the prejudices they have to face and the pride of the gentlemen who thought themselves more supperior. Jane, Elizabeth, and their other sisters have to face allot of discrimination towards their wealth and their family connections. Jane and Elizabeth are the oldest, the prettiest, the wisest, and the most favoured in the higher circles of society. Even so when Jane falls in love with Mr Bingley an 'Eligible' young bachelor, Mr Darcy and the Mr Bingley's sisters dissuade him from this 'most unsuitable match'. Her mother was vaulger, she had little fortune and her younger sisters would be a bad connection. Mr Darcy dispite all this finds himself helplessly in love with Elizabeth, and so the story goes on, I could read this book again and again, it is timless and I would reccomend it to anyone.

Summary: Is there an Elisabeth Bennet, out there?
Review: I loved this book. I loved the language, the romance, the characters, even the choice of adjectives... (tolerably well... , and so on) But the point is... Do these things happen, in the real world? Sometimes I have the feeling that, behaving as Mr. Darcy does in the first part of the novel won't take you anywhere but to live the rest of your life alone. And considering that I am a reasonably good-looking, tolerably clever, 30 years old Italian man, who doesn't see many chances of finding a girlfriend beacuse of his ill attitude... well, let me confess you that I am starting to feel a bit perplexed (and worried) about my future... Giovanni (from Milan, Italy)

Summary: The best book!
Review: Simply put this is the BEST book I have ever read

Rating:
Summary: A great book
Review: Usually when someone uses the word "classic" to describe a book,it scares me off and I go find something else.I don't recomend passing this book up though.It is DEFINATELY a book I would recomend(coming from an 11-year-old girl,that is saying a lot).If you like this book,I think you would like "Crown Duel" and "Court Duel" by Sherwood Smith.It is like "Pride and Predjudice" in a way,with a touch of fantasy.

Rating:
Summary: Pure joy and entertainment from beginning to end!
Review: A timeless classic in literature, this book is one of the most famous books in the world. Not everyone has read this book, but everyone has heard of its name. Unlike some other great books, which might be hard to read&understand to some, the content and language of this book is accessible to everyone. Readers will be delighted by its humor as soon as they read the first page.

Rating:
Summary: Absolutely romantic
Review: I read this book a few months ago and I couldn't put it down. Every chapter of the book is exciting. The romance between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy is amazing. It starts as hatred for one another and ends with them very much in love. I recommend this book to everyone who enjoys romance and classic novels.

Rating:
Summary: ZERO STARS: I HATE JANE AUSTEN
Review: I HATED THIS BOOK. I READ IT IN HIGH SCHOOL, ABOUT 9 YEARS AGO AND I STILL REMEMBER HOW MUCH I HATE THE PUFFY PATHETIC NARRATIVE OF WHINY WOMEN IN WANT OF HUSBANDS. It is with deep anguish that I note that there are books on how to teach this book in classes, thereby continuing the legacy of pain to innocent students of this day and age.

Summary: This is the greatest book ever written
Review: I first read Pride and Prejudice when I was about 12 years old. It was certainly, without a doubt the greatest piece of literature I have ever read, and I am an avid reader. In fact, I have read this book about 10 times, and I recommend this book to all my friends and to you because I did not like to read until I read the Jane Austen novels. After I read Pride and Prejudice, I realized that there are books out there that are worth reading for fun, and ever since, I have always been in the process of reading a book for fun, even in addition to the books I read for my high school classes. If I could give Pride and Prejudice more than 5 stars, I would. If you want to discover the joy of reading, there is no book that can better help you find it than Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
