thamera 's review for:
Pride and Prejudice
by Jane Austen
19% ~ Although I am not close to finishing this book yet, I have a good feeling this will be one of my all-time favourites. The melodrama, the awkwardness between the characters. I didn't expect this to be a comedy but it is. I laughed so many times while reading this. Can't wait to finish this book and fall ardently in love.
EDIT: I have now finished the novel and I have to admit I was absolutely devastated when I realised the "You have bewitched me body and soul" line was not here. Oh, Matthew Macfayden set the standards too high. However, I thought this to be a very great novel and quite witty for the time. I still do like the film from 2005 much better. I think the relationship that the sisters have with both Bingley and Darcy should have been focused on more. Is this book dated? Somewhat, due to the incredible amount of time we spend travelling to random people's houses in this novel. Overall, I was expecting the film and I ended up with a family drama instead. Not disappointed, just not what I expected.
