A review by itsgraziela
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
5.0
This is probably the best book written by Jane Austen that I have read so far (I haven't read Emma, Mansfield Park, or her shorter works yet). I have to say that I did enjoy her other books a lot, but I can see why this one became so many people's favourite.
Elizabeth is such a great character to follow! She is smart and speaks for herself, she is stubborn but acknowledges all her mistakes. It is quite an experience to see her love for Mr. Darcy flourish through the pages. I began to like him through Elizabeth's eyes, as he is not the most likeable character at the beginning.
As for the other characters, Jane and Mr. Bingley were a couple that I was cheering for from the start. I found Lydia and Mrs. Bennet very difficult to emphasise with. Mr. Bennet, despite not being the most present at times, cared about his Lizzie and gave us a lovely dialogue with her at the end.
This was an enjoyable read that I will probably read it again many times in the future.
