Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

lighthousebooks's review against another edition

5.0

Illustrates perfectly how acts of pride and prejudice beset us all and how love, in particular Christ-like love, can alter our perceptions of ourselves and others for the better. Lea explains this so well in her review.

To risk being repetitive, Noel says it best: And Mr. Darcy

The minute I picked up this book I couldn't put it down. I loved Elizabeth and her family and enjoyed reading about her adventures.

Among the most charming, witty, and clear sighted books I've ever read. Not to be a cliché female lit major or anything, but I love it to death.

oeystein's review against another edition

3.0

Perfectly fine light entertainment for Christmas. But I find the enormous status this book seems to have in the English speaking world, hard to understand.

Two unexpected mental references came to mind while reading it: Icelandic sagas - not in any of the literary quality, but in terms of the strict honour society these upper class characters live in, and are bound by. At one point, there is even mention of a possible duel to rectify an injury to the family honour.

The other is to the TV shows "Real Housewives of Orange County/Beverly Hills/New York City", etc: Very little happens and no one does much of anything, except going to parties and visiting each other, but what little does happen is endlessly talked about and rehashed.

So, not my cup of tea.

I'm still not sold on Austen but I highly recommend this audiobook only if narrated by Josephine Bailey. She is fabulous.
