Pride and Prejudice
If I were reviewing Pride and Prejudice alone, I would give this novel six stars. It is rightfully listed on every top 100 literature list. I am currently reading it for the sixth time and still finding wonderful new things in the story. For those who have only seen the movie versions, you are in for a treat... no movie can do this story justice.My complaint is that the Kindle version I purchased was advertised as illustrated, but there are very few illustrations and the quality is poor, and there is no way to zoom in to see the illustrations better (as you can do with text on the Kindle). This is a past-copyright book and it is available free from the Gutenberg Project, and used to be free on Kindle. I paid 99 cents to get the illustrated version, and it really wasn't worth it. Seriously.
Pride and Prejudice
I love this book and re-read it nearly every year. I just downloaded the free version to read on my new kindle. There are 4 paragraphs missing in chapter 1, at least one word in chapter 2... And that's as far as I have gotten. So the item loses a star for being incomplete
Pride and Prejudice
This book speaks to every romantic. It's written beautifully in the classic language that every man and woman speaks while in the throes of the mating game. I read this book at least yearly to remind myself of not only the gloriously beautiful fluent English language and wit of Miss Bennett, but the always refreshing humility, which this book's title fails to mention. It is truly a beautiful piece of romantic literature. The sensual / sexual tension between Miss Bennett and Mr. Darcy is something I never tire of.
Pride and Prejudice
Great text but the reader struggles with male voices. They sound "fake" and interfere with listening
Pride and Prejudice
this is a great book for anyone who has never been in love. it emphasizes the fact that first impressions are not always the correct ones or the best ones. you need to get to know someone before forming an opinion. plus jane austen is amusing and witty and insightful.
Pride and Prejudice
This Jane Austen novel is fantastic. The characters are very real and the period well represented. It is also funny. I could not put it down once I started and at the end, I just went back and re-read it!
