A review by sruthis_bookland
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

4.0

“There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.”

Yayyyyy!!! I finally read Austen’s book and I loved it!!

I am reading Pride and Prejudice for the first time and I haven’t seen the movie too since I was so reluctant that I will read first only then I will watch. It took me 2 days to get used to Austen’s writing. The vocabulary was so strong and I sometimes read the same paragraph more than twice initially. In-between I even felt like I should watch the movie first for better understanding. One of my friend actually encouraged me by saying that when Darcy comes you will swoon. I was so eager to meet him actually since so many said that their favorite couple is Lizzy and Darcy. Oh my god, maybe they are the first ever enemy to lover troupe. When I became comfortable in Austen’s writing I started loving the book. I learnt so many words actually which I never know that existed before. I am so glad that I read the book completely overcoming all my boredom in the starting.
So, if you want to explore Jane Austen’s books start with this book and it may be difficult at the beginning but it is a gem. I loved it so much. I will definitely pick her other books…
