Pride and Prejudice by Jane AustenMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is a classic of English literature for good reason. The characters, especially Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy are quite well drawn. One of the best aspects of the novel is the vantage point from which it is written.
The reader learns everything through Elizabeth Bennet's point of view and sees the world through her prejudices. The point of view broadens as Elizabeth develops as a character and loses her prejudices, particularly against Mr. Darcy.
Pride and Prejudice continues to be extremely popular and inspires many spin-offs including Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Its influence on English literature and its continued appearance in popular culture alone make it worth reading.

quite embarrassing to admit that I haven't read this one yet, but I have read the one with zombies in it :)
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I rather enjoyed the version with zombies more...But then again I love stuff about zombies hehe :D
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite authors ever. Jane Austen is amazing and I have loved all of her books. I read the one with Sea Monsters also, not as good as the original, but not bad. Thanks for stopping by earlier. Lisa
