I love Pride and Prejudice. I have always loved Pride and Prejudice. But, would you believe… I now think I prefer Persuasion (audible gasp).

Both are fantastic and worthy of 4 star reviews. But I flew through Persuasion in a way that I just couldn’t with Pride and Prejudice.

I have always loved the story, but after engaging so well with Persuasion, I was a tad disappointed at how long it took me to really get into (and get through) Pride and Prejudice.

BUT, as I said before, it’s still 100% worthy of a 4 star review.

While reading this book, the first half of it seemed to be a drag for me. I just couldn’t get into it and took a while to get through it. However, the second half of the book was really good. I loved the relationship between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy and the sub plots paid off a lot to the story as a whole.

There's very, very little to be said about the genius of Jane Austen that hasn't been better expressed already. This is a masterpiece that embodies philosophy, does away with needless description, furnishes dialogue with a grounded beauty and whose characters are so charming and/or detestable that their afterlives in fiction, cinema and our cultural language, needs must speak for the charm of the author's art.

Pride and Prejudice is a delightful story ahead of its time. Written over two centuries ago, its hate-to-love storyline was as entertaining then as it is now. With all the additional drama of various ridiculous relations, love triangles, and several secondary romances.

The narrator’s enactment easily identified each character. Their acting was lively enough to embody the characters and move the story along without overdramatic Which could have easily happened due to the frequent hysterics several secondary characters express and experience. The accent and tone were “light British” as in it was not as prim and forceful sounding in diction as some of the other audio recordings of this book I have listened to (I honestly have no idea how do describe this and intend no disrespect to anyone). And not a straightforward “American” accent, which would be weird and unappealing for England.

If one is unfamiliar with this writing style, I would recommend particularly. And if you are, this is an enjoyable listen, so I would to that person too.
