commasynapse 's review for:
Pride and Prejudice
by Jane Austen
I actually enjoyed "Pride and Prejudice" much more than "Emma." Often given the title of a "woman's book," I think such a title is exceedingly unfair as it overlooks Austen's skill for characterization and storytelling. Granted, Pride and Prejudice does move a little slow at times, but it's no small feat to make a grown man in 2015 (and 2017) come to care about romance in Victorian society, and much of it is due to Austen's intricate characterization.
Reread this book for a graduate class and appreciated it far more. Austen's humor and irony are subtle and clever. The majority of the characters are all quite complex, and her dialogue is fantastic.
