Pride and Prejudice is one of those classic novels that at some point, someone will be shoving at you to read. Luckily I managed to avoid that for most of my life, until my friend in university insisted I read it. The downside to classic novels is that you already have a fairly good idea of what will happen so there are no real plot twists that you didn't see coming, and the language tends towards... well... classic.

i read this book. it was pretty good. faster-paced than i expected.
when you turn the last page, however, you're just like: woah. wtf did i just read?!
what was this book about?
i've never read a book that was basically about nothing... until i read pride and prejudice.
still, considering that jane elicited my interest in the characters' empty, boring lives, i gotta give it to her. pretty damned smart woman.

This is the first piece of classic literature that made me giggle! Austen's prose is as lovely and radiant as Jane Bennet herself.

4.5 / 5.
Orgullo y Prejuicio es la obra más leída de Jane Austen y puedo entender por qué: es una lectura ágil, cargada de ironía y con toques de humor, diálogos sagaces y bien desplegados, los personajes son entrañables y se percibe un crecimiento en ellos con el correr de la novela. Elizabeth es una joven inteligente, que en un principio es vencida por sus prejuicios para contra Mr Darcy, y que luego aprenderá de sus errores. Mr Darcy es orgulloso y falla en dar una buena primera impresión, pero tiene un carácter noble. En ellos aparecen representadas dos de las temáticas de la obra y que le dan el título a la misma. También lo son: el matrimonio, la familia y las clases sociales.
No le he dado las 5 estrellas porque me ha parecido un poco lenta de a ratos, especialmente en la transición entre un episodio y el siguiente. Más allá de esta consideración, que es más bien personal, la obra me ha parecido excelente y merece todo los elogios que recibe. Una obra maestra.

wow. this was really wholesome. the beginning and the end were so good. do i even have to talk about the writing? jane austen is amazing. the only complaint i have is that the middle wasn't filled with much action. conclusion: i love mr. darcy.

Jane Austen just isn't my cup of tea. I respect the writing and the steps she made for women but could barely get through it.
