Very witty, very smart, and quite clever. Well, well written! And very endearing! Time very well spent!

Es imposible no tener en cuenta el entorno y la época de la obra, a la hora de analizarla. La verdad me hizo poner en perspectiva como hemos avanzado en la sociedad, respecto a algunos aspectos del machismo, por citar un ejemplo, pero también deja ver cómo hay cosas que desafortunadamente no han cambiado. De todas formas es una obra interesante y dinámica, un clásico que vale la pena leer.

Really good book. At times, kind of hard to understand, but that's because it was written a long time ago when peoples' vocabulary was infinitely larger than my own. But really good, and I will definitely be reading the rest of Jane Austen's books as well.

I watched this movie for the first time earlier this week and became obsessed, so, of course I had to read the book. This was my first classic and I thoroughly enjoyed it. While I loved the movie, I loved the book even more.
I really felt we got more out of Darcy in the book than we did in the movie. For example: the exchanges in the book being more than what they were in the movie. How, when visiting Charlotte in Kent, their interactions were more than just the visit at Lady Catherine’s house. They spent many days walking along the same trail (which he just happened to be on every time she was) and that’s where they really seemed to get-to-know one another — where he seemed to really fall in love. Again, when he went to visit her at Rosings; their time spent was longer than a minute or two. I wish we had gotten that out of the movie, rather than it being as if they only met at random only so many times before he decided to confess his love.
Regardless, I still love both and this book has definitely become a personal favorite.
The Darcy Effect is real, y’all.

I started my love affiar with Jane Austen watching the most recent movie version of the story and just fell in love. When I read the book, I saw how much of the story was left out, and how much I loved the written version! I have since watched the mini-series, but I still prefer the book! An obvious classic!
