What is there to say? This is my 4th (5th?) re-reading/listen of the story, and I still love it. As a novel, it's probably Austen's most perfect, but I still count Persuasion as my favorite.

The narration by Rosamund Pike is very good.

Even though I find Austen's style a little tricky to get through, I still ended up finishing Pride & Prejudice faster than I would have thought, mostly because there is a lot of humor and clever lines to be found. The writing is incredible, obviously, and there isn't much I can say that hasn't already been said except I didn't enjoy it as much as others but am now more keen to see a movie or TV adaptation than I was before. Also it's funny to see how much of the book and characters I'd already absorbed through other media - you know a book is influential when!

It's demonstrative of how far removed I am from this time period that two of my biggest sources of confusion were: 1) whatever was so offensive to Darcy, and rightly so, about the Bennett family's behavior, and 2) Darcy's solution for Wickham/Lydia's flight from town is to marry him into the Bennett family despite his behavior being so disreputable. I would've thought Wickham would've been cast out by himself to deal with his problems for how poorly he acted.

My Number 1 book

[melsmarsh · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

“Pride and Prejudice” has been on my list for a while. When this book popped up I figured since it’s supposed to be easier to read than the original I figured I would try it. I’m not so sure how abridged this is since it’s still 330+ pages and I question how hard to read the original version was. This was listed as being suitable for 11+. I read college textbooks for fun and I think this was quite a slog to get through and I had to take breaks. I read Dracula unabridged when I was 11 and there was no way I would have been able to get through this at 11 given I struggled enough as a 43 year old. I also recommend that you keep a pad of paper and a pen to keep track of the relationships.

The one other thing I’ve established is that this is the gentile version of Fiddler on the Roof.

After years of starting and dropping this book, I have finally read it all the way through; and must say that I am not wholly benefited by this. I was utterly uninterested and unemotionally invested throughout most of the novel. None of the characters possessed any qualities to make me partial towards them or even really enjoy them (though, admittedly, several characters did provide some humor), and there was far too much irrelevant wording and plot development throughout. I also found all the preoccupation with manners and aristocracy very irksome.

Despite these shortcomings, I did enjoy the progressive softening of Mr. Darcy's character as well as Jane and Mr. Bingley's relationship.

[tsunaminoai · Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas]

Given all of the hype surrounding this book, I was expecting a miracle whirlwind romance. Instead, I got a lot of gossip, sitting around, and bad mothering. Mr. Darcy and Miss Bennet only appear together for about a quarter of the book. I will concede, though, that the characters (those two only) are quite charming in themselves. The last handful of chapters are where Miss Bennet finally shows her true, endearing character, but it is a slog to get there.

[andjhostet-527429 · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

Finally got around to reading this. It felt cliche, probably due to how influential it is. Portrayal of high society English countryside is interesting, but got a tad stale after a bit. The prose was very plain, and easy to read, for such an old book. The dialog was great, and pretty witty. I'll say that I didn't find it quite as funny as some people claim, but it was still pretty clever at times and well done. The characters were great. At first I thought they were pretty shallow but the book revealed a lot more depth as it went on. After Darcy's letter, I tore through the book and finished the last 150 or so pages in one day. Pretty easy, and fun read that I overall enjoyed. I'll probably try more Jane Austen.

[kwskultety · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

Once you settle into Austen's odd style of writing and get to know the characters, this is a really good book. I enjoyed the dialogue from Mr Bennet the best, as he is quite sarcastic and arch, and only if you are paying close attention will you see that. Mr Collins was a character I loved to hate, as he is self aggrandizing and bombastic at times. He too, can be sarcastic, but in a mean way.
I intend to check out some of the "sequels" to P&P, written by other authors. At home I have the annotated Sense and Sensibility, and I may look into getting the annotated version of this book as well. Defintely worth a second read to grasp some nuances I know I missed the first time around.

The audiobook version was beautifully done. Enjoyed it very much!

[regoodrich · Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas]

I wasn't sure about this book to begin with. My first impression was that the author, Jane Austen, had simply created a very long gossip session among wealthy snobs with nothing better to do than attempt to one up each other. But seeing how the population raved this famous love story, I continued to push forward, hopeful. I will admit it was worth my perseverance. Once the stage was finally set (comprising basically the first half of the book) then events suddenly compelled me to read for the sheer desire of seeing what would become of three potential relationships. I greatly appreciated, as well as respected, the main characters, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy, and how both chose to learn from the criticism handed them while at the same time remain the confident and independent people they were at heart. The story proved delightful, and I am glad I invested the time to finally read it.

[gifford_macshane · Calificación: 2 de 5 estrellas]

A very unpopular opinion, I know, but I found the first 3/4 of this book exceptionally boring -- it simply served as set-up for the final chapters. Characterization was strong, if repetitive, but the plot suffered for it. Then everything had to be resolved in the final few chapters, and I was disappointed that neither Collins nor Wickham got his comeuppance.

[jorgeousjotts · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

Just delightful. =)

[aadyer · Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas]

A very famous Jane Austen novel, which, in the main, lives up to its billing. It’s contains Mr Darcy, the Bennett family, and the villainous Mr Wickham. All good fun and makes me think that Jane what is an extremely good writer, not only on relationships and their interactions, but the state of affairs in Britain at that time. Recommended.

[pgchuis · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

Re-read for the umpteenth time for my OU course. All the good lines in the TV and film adaptations come direct from Austen. Very funny; very romantic. I'll keep my more complex analysis for my essay!

[qaphsiel-1 · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

For a long time, I resisted reading Jane Austen's books. The petty trials and tribulations of 19th century Britain's upper crust held no appeal for me. Well, you can see the rating I gave, and thus that for whatever reason (I was wrong before, pandemic isolation makes more interested in the romantic difficulties of the rich/romances in general, both, something else) I loved this book.

So, even though I had read little of Austen's work, what I had certainly lived up to her reputation as a writer. And she does not fail to deliver on this count in P&P. The skill with which she embeds so many aspects of 19th century upper class social norms and demands into the plot and subplots of this story is amazing. Just as you can simply add and delete aspects of a culture without profoundly affecting the whole, adding or deleting any characteristic of the setting's culture from this story would likely unravel it. At the very least, it would render it a completely different tale.

A friend, who will also be a happy creature upon seeing how much I enjoyed this, said Elizabeth was a bit dopey, and there's some truth in that. But she's also quite hemmed in by the various conventions, norms, and expectations around her. Her dopiness was believable under the circumstances. (Unlike some stories that make me want to scream for the sheer unbelievability of their characters' idiocies. I guess if you're shit at plot development, boneheadedness starts looking like a cool way to make plot points. But I digress...) Even once she gets her intuition online, there's precious little she can do with her insight that wouldn't risk significant social consequences. It's a skillful managing of the tension and a testimony to how well Austen crafted the setting story.

I don't think I'm giving much away by saying the ending is a happy one. It's Austen, if you haven't read her, you've seen the movie or at least heard about it.

There aren't really any "bad guys" in this book. A number of really annoying 9nes -- looking at you Mrs. Bennet, Mr. Collins, and Lady Catherine -- to be sure. Only Lady Catherine is truly thwarted. The others end up pretty happy. I'm pretty sure Mrs. Bennet would be happy regardless of who any of her daughters married as long as the person had money and some standing, so having 60% of her brood wed by the end of it all is totally a win in her myopic eyes. The closest character to a bad guy does have a slightly unhappy ending, but as he's bailed out of all his financial issues, the comeuppance he gets is pretty weak all in all.

It's as a pleasant an ending as could be. To paraphrase more than one of the characters, if you like happy endings, reading this book will make you the happiest creature in the world. Yep.

As an EFL teacher and fan of linguistics I loved hearing (audiobook) how our ways of speaking have changed in two hundred years. Their use of must in particular is much broader than it is today, particularly in the United States.

Rosamund Pike's performance positively shone. Wonderful voice choices for the characters that were distinct and consistent. Her voice for Collins in particular just grates on you -- I mean that in a good way, he's annoyingly wordy, and you, like whomever he's speaking to, can hardly wait for him to finish so you can flee to the dentist or to floss your cat.

[eavans-914612 · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

I didn't want to read this. I know, wild.

I started my foray into Austen a few years previously, for some god forsaken reason attempting to read her books in the order they were published. Jesus Christ, don't do this. You'll probably hate it and get turned off from the author, and I've done that more times than I care to admit. Author's first works are usually way off from their more mature work and there's no shame in reading an author's most popular work. Tell that to 14 year old Eavan though, jeesh.

After getting a ton of recommendations from followers and friends on my blog, I went into it with a clear slate. It was Austen's ultimate second chance. I told them that if this was a dud, Austen was canceled. I didn't let my dislike of Sense and Sensibility cloud myself though, and I just read. And read. And 70 pages in, I knew this was going to be a keeper.

What was this?! Austen a keeper?! Reader, I'm afraid I found myself having some serious fun. I totally underestimated the clichés in it –and I can't believe I'm saying this– but I ate it up. I can forgive old novels for cliché, and I totally see this novel as the o.g. of the classic enemies-to-lovers trope. It was everything a good fanfic had: the melodrama and surprise, the page turning dramatics making me almost giddy. I may seem like some serious, boring reader, but I love ridiculous drama like there's no tomorrow. Downton Abbey isn't my favorite show of all time for nothing.

And I can't complain about that.

That's not to say I didn't recognize and appreciate the art of the novel, far from it. I'm not going to beat a dead horse about the literary merits of Pride and Prejudice though, for god's sake leave that to teachers or something. I'm just here to gush about it. I found the satire pretty keen and fresh surprisingly, I don't know if I just read boring stuff most of the time, but Austen's remarks of her society were totally welcome and surprisingly modern. The plot was pretty tight (both literally and figuratively) and the ways Elizabeth and Darcy learn from each other's "pride" and "prejudice" and change each other for the better... into that... Okay, I'm done with that boring part you already now, promise.

Anyways, I was a little surprised by the language of the novel; I read classics quite often but there was something a bit difficult for me this time. I got over it quickly, but it did make me question myself at times. Scary stuff though.

Will I give Austen another try? I'm almost tempted to say no. I know after all that I probably sound crazy, but I've heard from some that this is her best novel, and I sort of don't want to sully her good perception in my head further than my loathing of Sense and Sensibility. I see her genius though, and I'm glad I was able to enjoy this book– coming over my own prejudice on the way.

Fun reread. Delightful and witty. :)

[kslade-1 · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

Really fun book. I thought it would be boring when I first read it, but I got into it. This date listed here is for the second time I read it. This book could be read all the time and still be good.

[missyivey · Calificación: 1 de 5 estrellas]

A classic first published in 1813 - A large book...one I had always wanted to read since high school. Finally got it read in 2017 and now I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone. I didn't think it was ever going to end. The speaking language is some weird early period British - English dialect or something. I barely survived it! Such a boring novel! Why do I have to be such a finisher?

[mariastram97 · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

One of my favorite book i have ever read in my life

[linyarai · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

I feel like the movies stuck pretty closely to the book, so I enjoyed the book immensely. I though the characters were quite realistic and often felt like I was in the room with them.

[mialro_1 · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

This is a Spanish, graphic novel adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. It's an ok envisioning; the speech bubbles' copying and pasting of text should have been edited a bit more closely, plus there's typos. I don't like how all the girls look 16 and all the guys look 40. The artwork was kind of cartoony, and more detail/accuracy could have been kept in the depictions of clothing, etc. 3.9/5

Esta novella gráfica/illustrada es una adaptación de la novella de Jane Austen. Está más o menos bien. No corrigieron las palabras en los globitos de texto muy bien y hay errores. Tampoco me gusta que todas las mujeres se ven como quinceañeras y todos los hombres se ven como señores de 40 años. El/la artista debería dibujado los vestidos y otras cosas como estaban en esos tiempos. 3.9 de 5 estrellas.

My first time actually completing this novel and it was like visiting with an old friend. I've seen all the adaptations, listened to it on audio, but had never read the book.

[almin-70827 · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

Pride and Prejudice is the precursor for all formulaic romance novels. Of course, I've yet to find one as well written as this one, but I noticed the formula about 3/4 into the book. This isn't a criticism of the book, just an observation, I very much enjoyed it. I love the language, so beautiful and challenging to comprehend at times. I listened to the audio, read by Rosamund Pike (who played Jane in one of the movie versions) and she was superb.

[john257hopper · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

Until now I was no doubt one of the very few people who had read every Jane Austen novel except Pride and Prejudice. Having made an abortive attempt to do so 8 years ago after attending the Bath Christmas market, I have now succeeded it doing so after another visit to Bath last week. It will never be my favourite Austen novel (that is Northanger Abbey), but I enjoyed the gentle ironic style, and tensions between the five Bennet sisters and their mother and other relatives. A pity we don't get to see more of the shy, bookish Mary Bennet! I rather like their long-suffering father, isolated in a house of females too.
