Five stars hardly seems to be enough to describe this novel with. The only downfall is that this version is abridged. It's hard not to fall in love with the characters in this book. Mrs. Bennett is a "silly" woman and her husband is full of humor about her antics. Jane and Elizabeth are two of the most well-developed characters that I have ever had the pleasure of reading about. And, as for Mr. Darcy, how can you not fall in love with him by the end of the book? I know I did. He is cruel-hearted at the beginning but sort of learns his leason after an unexpected refusal. As for Jane, she and her love are more or less torn apart because of a misunderstanding. Live with the two eldest Bennett sisters and experience high and low society with them. Encounter seemingly unsolvable problems and love and hate. This is a story that you will truly never forget.

Do you not believe that "real men wear black"? Do you prefer afternoon tea with cucumber sandwiches over Budweiser and pretzels? Do you simply adore Hugh Grant? Even so, skip the movie, and read the book that any lady would hold dear. If you believe that the difference between a girl in a go-go dress and a lady in a flower print dress is as wide as the Grand Canyon, then the escapades of the Bennett sisters will enthrall you. Pride and Prejudice is a book that is light in the topics that move today's news, but is crucial for understanding the interactions of everyday life with those that you love. Jane Austin illustrates a clear understanding of how we ladies get ourselves in the predicaments that we inevitably do, and to our comfort, she shows that while the news changes everyday, the dynamics of human relationships will always be the same.

This book is one of the best books in the world. Jane Austen is truly the worlds greatest author. You will find yourself falling in love with all of the people in this book, and you yearn for things to happen that in the end.... well I'll just say the end is one of the elements that makes this book wanderful!!!
This truly is the best book that was ever made. It is a MUST READ for everyone and anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
