Book - Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Where I got it - My dad once brought me a home a box-set of classic novels, this was one of the ones in the set.
Why I never read it before - When it was given to me, I was definitely too young to appreciate it. I could never get into it, the old language threw me off.
My Rating - 5/5
Review -
Considering the fact that I must have started this book five times before and not been able to get into it, I never expected that it would get a 5/5 from me. Once you get past the slow beginning and the old-fashioned language, this book it awesome.
The characters are great. You love the ones that are good with your whole heart and the hate the ones that are bad with everything you have. There are some characters that are just so ridiculous but you can't help but love and hate them and laugh at them the whole way through.
This story is a great love story. I think that is what I like the most about it. I've read a lot of love stories that are so full of "I love you so much'"s and "you're the best thing that ever happened to me"s that you begin to wonder why the main character is so in love with the guy. I mean, this girl is so in love with this guy, yet the reader is left feeling that they don't know him at all. This book is the total opposite of that. Darcy's character is so defined that you can't help but know him and know every reason why Elizabeth comes to love him. You want their relationship to happen because you really want it too, not just because you want the two characters to be together.
I loved this book and I can't believe that it has taken me this long to read it!
