A review by nhdiary
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
5.0
"In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." (screams)
At last, I read this classic book! And what a pleasant surprise. Getting into a story that was written so long ago –for the first time in a while– definitely took some adjusting. But once I immersed myself into the book, I became eager to know more about the future of Elizabeth and her relatives. (But mostly about Elizabeth and Darcy's relationship, let's be honest.)
Overall, I genuinely had a great time reading this book full of miscommunications that generated several juicy narratives. I enjoyed reading about its characters, their lives in Georgian England, and the flaws that made them human. Except Lydia. She's a despicable spoiled brat that I just couldn't stand. Sure, she's young, and parts of her storyline were somehow necessary to the developement of our main characters' relationship. But still, she was insufferable till the very end.
