A review by snukes
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

4.0

I thought this book was every bit as lovely as all my friends told me it would be. Though it took a few chapters to get into the swing of the language and mood of the time, after that the story flowed easily. The characters are delightful, the plot very carefully constructed, and the resolutions all very satisfying. Some of my favorite bits of dialog came from Mr. Bennet, which I had to read a couple times because the first time through I couldn't believe he was saying such things. Elizabeth clearly got her sass from him. Social casts no longer being so well defined, it would still do society a world of good if we could all be as un-simpering and direct to people with more money, power or fame than we as Elizabeth is to Darcy. This one will certainly go on the shelf for a reread in the future!
