Pride and Prejudice by George Stade, Jane Austen

kdawn999's review against another edition

5.0

2023: An overdue reread of the book that always improves on closer acquaintance. I continue to enjoy comparing the original with the superb 1995 film production and despising the 2005, which neuters the delicate cascade of the plot. This read I was stuck by the ferocity of Elizabeth’s and Darcy’s early conversations, her infatuation with Wickham, and the sharpness or irony present in almost every bit of dialogue and narration. Glorious and satisfying.

2015: Just finished rereading it for about the 12th time. I've read it almost every year since I was 13. How does this book keep getting better? Chapters 1 and 34 continue to be my favorite.

The first few chapters did not appeal to me but i'm glad tho for not putting it down. Indeed it is a good story and I like some of the characters developments, a good and enticing read.
