4.5

I read this book because of the 2005 movie adaption, and it was an even better experience than the film. The characters are smart and witty (although I probably did miss most of the jokes), and reading their thoughts about everyone else, with their insights on the cultural norms of the time, was incredibly fun. The only reason I'm not giving it the full 5 stars is that some parts felt particularly slow and I was very impatient for the story to advance, but that might have been due to already knowing the plot and wanting to get to the romance part. Either way, I feel like this is a great book for anyone wanting to read more classics, as it is also written in a pretty accessible style.
