Tenía este libro guardado desde hace tres años, había pospuesto su lectura porque creí que sería más pesado de leer al tratarse de una Obra Universal, no podía estar más equivocado, la lectura es sumamente sencilla (gracias también a la traducción), entiendo por qué se consideró una obra maestra y ostente también el título de novela profeminismo.
La historia entre Elizabeth y Darcy me parece que fue la inspiración de muchas novelas posteriores (también telenovelas y radionovelas), los personajes me parecieron extraordinario para la época en que fue escrito este libro, en mi opinión tiene muy justificado el nombramiento de literatura universal, aunque existen algunos detractores, creo que lo importante es recordar que fue escrito en una época donde no existía el suficiente apoyo y reconocimiento al trabajo literario femenino, por lo cual es extraordinario que hoy en día sean de los mejores trabajos jamás escritos.

Although P&P is a digression from what I normally read (YA), I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It wasn't perfect, but it was definitely enjoyable. Although I loved Darcy and Elizabeth and those moments when they went back and forth with each other, I wished there was more of that. I wanted more tension between them so I could feel their eventual love. I didn't completely buy into Elizabeth's complete shift to loving him wholeheartedly by the end considering, in reality, they hardly knew each other. Besides those questionable moments, I loved her writing, her focus on dialogue and her use of like-able and (QUITE) unlikeable characters to move the plot along.

i think the beginning of this book was a great start that engaged me as the reader and the ending was so enjoyable to read and you watched elizabeth and darcy become more and more compatible to each other’s personality traits. however, the middle of the book was very tedious to continue reading as it was - quite literally - a bunch of people just going to each others houses. i felt it was unnecessarily difficult to get through without becoming lost and just wasn’t interesting.

I randomly watched the movie because a lot of people talked about how beautiful it was and I ended up really loving it. So I decided to read the book as I'm in a classics mood lately and I really enjoyed it. I picked at the book at first, reading it when I had a spare moment or two then when I really got interested in it completely devoured it in two days.
