Summary: Classic Entertainment
Comment: Austen is a wonderful omniscient author and has a delightful perspective on people's traits and character. She realized that people are complex, and included their different sides in these characters. It's a feel good book, and we need those once in a while. Its like a mature fairy tale. This is my favorite book, however I only give it four stars because it didn't pose a challenge or have me ready to change the world, however I enjoyed this enduring love story.

Summary: Review on Pride and Prejudice
Comment: "I"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." This is the opening that initiated the whole story with a click, that not only addressed the theme of this book, but also of a "universally acknowledged" truth.
In my long search for a literary classic that I could both enjoy reading as well as get something out of, I finally ended up with "Pride and Prejudice", by Jane Austen. Upon reading the first sentence of this book, I was immediately captured by the story liveliness and soon found myself hooked. In addition to the lively, vivid tone of the book, what enchanted me the most was the seamless way in which each character behaviors and interactions were so carefully woven together in an intricate plot.
Some characters that appear in the book are:
- Mr. Bennet, a brilliant, sarcastic man who likes to ridicule the silliness of his wife
- Mrs. Bennet, a middle aged woman who is eager to marry her daughters off to rich and prosperous families when they come of age
- Their five daughters:
- Jane, who, being the eldest, believes in human good and righteousness in all human beings,
- Mary, their third child, who is always absorbed in books thinking about this and that
- The shy Catherine, also known as Kitty, who always followed her flirtatious younger sister, Lydia around in flirting with officers.
However, all the characters and indeed the whole story revolves around Miss. Elizabeth Bennet the second oldest sister, a witty, headstrong girl, and Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, a very queer, shy man. At first sight, Elizabeth's assumption and observation towards Mr. Darcy pride made her prejudiced against him. Yet in the end an unexpected twist ends this book in a very satisfactory manner.
Although many readers especially teenagers might be "prejudiced" against reading the old "classics", I found this book to be quite interesting. This book gave me an insight on the thoughts of the people during that time period, and some hints how they were suppress or discriminated by the class system.

Summary: One of the Best
Comment: This is one of the best books I've ever read! Definitely in the top 10! It is a book of real life drama and intense love. I couldn't wait to see if Miss Elizabeth Bennet would drop some of her prejudices or if Mr. Darcy would look thru his pride or if Miss Jane Bennet would end up with the one she loved.
This book is excellence in writing and in overall story! It was a book that I will read again!! Beyond doubt!
