Pride and Prejudice

JJJJJ

My View:   Filled it with realistic, believable characters who aren't over-perfected or over-romanticized (for her time period). Yes, the book is long, but it's also one of the most re-readable books on my shelf. A great novel about love, life, and family (particularly sisterhood). I am looking forward to reading more of Jane Austen's books.

One thing I especially appreciate about Pride and Prejudice is that it's a thoughtful book, but still entertaining. I like the reserve of the era's writing, and it proves you can have a riveting book without getting into even PG-13 territory.

I've started viewing this book as the forerunner of the character-driven story. What do you think of this analysis?

The only trouble for younger readers is the language, which is old-fashioned, and therefore may be difficult. But I got used to it really quickly.
Quotes:
Movie?	Yes, there are actually a few! My roommates and I love the 2005 Keira Knightly version but I'm searching for a movie buddy to watch the realllllyyyy long Colin Firth version with me.

Always,
