I wanted to love this book and as much as I enjoyed the last half of the book and was thrilled by the ending, the first half of the book felt very slow to me and nearly made me dnf and so i can't give more than 3.5 stars.
The writing style was nice and easy and didn't feel as wordy as I was expecting and I enjoyed the second half of the book plot wise.
I loved Elizabeth as a main character and felt all the characters were well fleshed out. This was a good starting point to Jane Austen's books for me

Can't believe I haven't added a review for this !! I just re-read it after finishing Persuasion for the first time, and, as in many previous readings, loved it.
The heroine,Elizabeth Bennet , is one of the greatest and most complex characters ever written. She's strong minded, independent, smart ,loving and passionate .She cares about her family and loves them unconditionally (and she's also a great reader i might add) :D
I see a great deal of myself in her which is probably one of the many reasons that makes it my favorite novel by Jane Austen =) it is absolutely enchanting.
I won't talk much of Mr.Darcy's qualities for they are quite a lot but I'll just say that Mr.Darcy is the one and Elizabeth will always be my hero =)

Orgullo y Prejuicio no es un clásico por casualidad, Jane Austen ha sabido como atrapar a los lectores, tanto a los de su época como a los de siglos posteriores, gracias a su fantástica contrucción de personajes y el desarrollo de los mismos, a los ingeniosos y, a menudo, reflexivos diálogos y, sobre todo, a su profunda crítica social. Por favor, leed entre líneas y no dejéis pasar por alto la enorme valentía que Austen demostró al romper los esquemas de la época y publicar esta novela a principios del XIX. Sin duda, Elizabeth Bennet y Fitzwilliam Darcy han sabido ganarse un hueco en la memoria de los amantes de la literatura para toda la eternidad. Un clásico que espero que nunca pase de moda.
