This is my first Jane Austen novel. It did not dissapoint!! New Years Resolution to read as many of the "classics" as I could. I have been pleasently surprised by this book. It left me wanting more and sad that it was over. Now I can't wait to read all of Jane Austen's books.
Wonderful! May 3, 2010

Since I was a business major in college, I wasn't made to read a lot of the standard classics that most people have already read. I'm finally starting to make up for lost time.
I loved this book. I have always loved 19th century literature, mostly because I love the societal rules and manners. (The House of Mirth is one of my all-time favorite books.) However, I was a bit surprised that I could be drawn in so much to a romance where no one even kisses. (Especially because some of the paranormal romances I read are practically pornography.) But I couldn't put this book down and I am now in love with Mr. Darcy like so many other women before me.
A book that withstands the test of time March 21, 2010

I would have liked to have met Jane Austen, and I think she would find it entertaining that her books have lasted as long as they did.
I won't review the book itself, but rather, the Kindle version of it. The book was free (amazing) and works splendidly across my non-Kindle devices, my iPod touch and my Blackberry. That way, I can sneak 10-15 mins worth of reading in on the train or bus without worrying about people making judgements about a man reading Austen.
The test of a classic novel is whether or not you want to keep it handy and refer to it when you need inspiration, a solid read or just to get lost in a different world. Thanks to the Kindle edition of Pride and Prejudice, I can pretend I'm in the world of Mr. Darcy.
So worth reading if your a rom-com fan... July 6, 2010

Read this, and then re-read this. You will see elements to most every romance novel, play and movie produced since this work was published. If you're a bit obsessive, you may even become an Austenite, seeking P&P rewrites, continuations, movies derived from it, etc. My faves of these are Bridget Jones's Diary (the first book and movie), The Bar Sinister (book continuation), and Lost in Austen (movie). There are TONS of these types of adaptations and explorations of the original novel, and for good reason: it is excellent.

I have always wanted to read the classics but never took the time. Having a Kindle has allowed me to read a LOT more than I used to, I carry it everywhere. This was the first book loaded (my husband pre-loaded it for me prior to presenting the Kindle as my birthday gift). I dove into the book like I have never read before and cannot express in words the joy I felt when I was finished. It is by far the most wonderful book I have ever read and do not know how I have lived 47 years without having read it.
There will NEVER be an author born the likes of Jane Austen. Give the gift of reading to all people you hold dear, it is a gift they will cherish forever!
