sean_kennelly 's review for:
Pride and Prejudice
by Jane Austen
A somewhat silly but rather enjoyable book. The silly element is the plot, which is contrived and generally uninteresting. This sounds a bit scathing, but it's a testament to Austen that the book reads as funny and and engaging. I don't know how she did it though! The Bennett sisters are well characterised, and of course Jane and Elizabeth Bennett are admirable and lovable. Their parents throw in some comic relief and Mr Darcy is...well he's basically a non-character whose personality fits whatever turn the plot has taken. If not for Colin Firth it's hard to imagine him as the icon he has become.
