Book Review - Pride and Prejeduce

Pride and Prejeduce
Jane Austen

7 Stars

Classic/Romance / 

My second Jane Austen, I have gotten my hands on the complete collection which is 6 of her novels. I will publish a separate full review of that book at a later date. 

Meet the Bennet sisters (all 5 of them) and their foolish mother and sarcastic father. Moving into their neighborhood come men of wealth, of good humour, of manners and perhaps one man to contain all three virtues.  We are left to question if ;  Jane find love with Bingly? If the hatred of Mr. Darcy for Liz and of Elizabeth for Mr.Darcy cannot be overlooked? 
Pride is not a virtue worth displaying &Prejudice can blind even the wises of us...we are all flawed in one way or another. 

This is my favourite so far and I can't wait to watch the movie. Mr Darcy is totally worthy of every fan girl (myself included). Elizabeth's character was phenomenal watching her grow and change in a very low key but dynamic manner. The endings are so perfect, so satisfying in a way that most modern novels are not. These are the novels that established so many stereotypes and tropes. I think these books will grow on me as time passes because of there simplicity and how easy it is to relate to them. Worth rereading every few years (especially because they are such quick reads) If these were not so hard to read (because of style and syntax) they would have a higher rating
