This review is from: Classic Library: Pride and Prejudice/Sense and Sensibility (Hardcover)

Most amazing work of art ever written by a female author. This edition is one of the best as it brings two of the best loved tales together, giving a chance to analyze and compare the stories, characters, etc. I'm not going to give a synopsis as there are plenty around, so I'll just expound on why this book was better.

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE: This classic love story about Elizabeth and Darcy can always definitely leave a person with a warm fuzzy feeling, how many ever times read. my favorite scene...when Darcy unexpectedly returns home and Elizabeth is seeing his house, thinking he wouldn't be there.

SENSE AND SENSIBILITY: Who can forget Elinor and Marianne? Austen captures the human mind so well that it can almost be us she's talking about. There are too many favorite scenes in this one to even choose one to mention, it's so hard!

In all, both these stories are really essential in any educated person's library. Heck, you can even get the whole collection of books, it absolutely worth your while. I've read all of Austen's books so many times that I just got the whole colection.

Pride and Predjudice was one of the best books I have ever read, and Sense and Sensbility is equally wonderful. I recommend these books to everyone who has an appreciation for great literature, and to al the hopeless romantics out there.
