"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."
Thus begins one of the most often quoted introductions to one of the most frequently assigned novels in British literature. During the Georgian era in the early 1800s, the ultimate goal of the parents of females was to find them suitable marriage partners of equal or superior social status with an income to keep them in the manner to which they were accustomed. Such goals naturally grew out of English inheritance laws of that time period, laws which modern society would find restrictive and prejudicial toward women.
In "Pride and Prejudice" Mr. and Mrs. Bennet are the proud parents of five daughters: Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty and Lydia. As these young women reach young adulthood, finding suitable mates for them becomes more important than ever because, should Mr. Bennet die, his home and income would be inherited by a distant male cousin rather than go to his wife or his children. As a result, their mother does everything in her power to get them married properly.
Her efforts are quadrupled, much to the embarrassment of her husband, when a wealthy bachelor, Mr. Bingley, arrives to live at a nearby mansion and brings with him his friend, Mr. Darcy.
Having been brought up by Mrs. Bennet, the girls have been conditioned to make her goal, as any other mother's goal, their own. A couple of the daughters, and one in particular, have minds of their own and indeed are precursors of more liberated females who will make their mark in future society.
The work is filled with humorous elements as well as subtle criticism of the time period and those values held by the social classes. Within the novel lie a number of love stories within the larger story.
As one of the most romantic love stories of its time, "Pride and Prejudice" brings listeners a captivating love story and enduring characters as typical of their time as any two lovers ever were.
Author Jane Austen lived from 1775 to 1817 in England. She was a novelist whose wrote about women, society and a woman's place in that society, poking fun at the foibles and weaknesses of human nature. She made heavy use of dramatic irony to maintain reader interest, resulting in words and commentary that are as entertaining to listen to now as they were then.
She wrote several other popular novels of the time, including "Mansfield Park," "Emma" and "Sense and Sensibility."
All of Austen's novels, including "Pride and Prejudice," are available in audiobook format for easy downloading here at Audio Bookstore.
"** spoiler alert ** Pride and Prejudice is about love that was found between classes (wealth and social). When the town finds out that the wealthy Charles Bingley has come in everyone one prepares to present there daughters so that he may choose them for marriage. The Bennets prepared to present there daughters Jane,Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty, and Lyndia. The Bennets go to the ball that was being host and Charles is attending and they find that Jane and Charles Bingley had created a connection and he only danced and talked to her all night. Also that night Charles Bingley's close friend Mr. Darcey did not take a liking to the event taking place and refused to dance with Elizabeth and after that everyone saw him as arrogant and obnoxious. After the ball Mr. Bingley invited Jane to the house and when she was walking a storm came in an once she arrived to his home she became very ill and Mr. Bingley took care of her. After Jane got better she and Mr. Bingley became closer together. Also Mr. Darcey and Elizabeth become close as well and Mr. Darceyt seems to be fight with himself because he is finding himself falling for Elizabeth. After all of this the Bennets have a from Mr. Collins ( he is a young clergyman who stands to inherit Mr. Bennet’s property) but he come with the intentions of asking for a hand in marriage to the eldest daughter Jane but he then finds out the Jane will be soon to be engaged so he then asks Elizabeth and she refuses at once. She tells Darcy that she considers him arrogant and unpleasant, then scolds him for steering Bingley away from Jane and disinheriting Wickham. Darcy leaves her but shortly thereafter delivers a letter to her. In this letter, he admits that he urged Bingley to distance himself from Jane, but claims he did so only because he thought their romance was not serious. As for Wickham, he informs Elizabeth that the young officer is a liar and that the real cause of their disagreement was Wickham’s attempt to elope with his young sister, Georgiana Darcy. This letter causes Elizabeth to reevaluate her feelings about Darcy. She returns home and acts coldly toward Wickham. Lyndia then runs away with Wickham and no one can find them so Elizabeth and her father go on journey to find them and are fear full that they are living together not married.Just when all hope seems lost, a letter comes from Mr. Gardiner saying that the couple has been found and that Wickham has agreed to marry Lydia in exchange for an annual income. They both returned and Lyndia and Wickham are married. Elizabeth then finds out that the money that he s receiving is from Darcey. Shortly thereafter, Bingley returns to Netherfield and resumes his courtship of Jane. Darcy goes to stay with him and pays visits to the Bennets but makes no mention of his desire to marry Elizabeth. Bingley, on the other hand, presses his suit and proposes to Jane. After that Darcey and Elizabeth find each other no longer to hold their ove in and they confess there love to each other and get married. I personally LOVE this book because not only was it love story but it was the kind of love story that give you hope and make you think that one day maybe you can find your prince charming. I think my favorite line of the book is when Mr. Darcey says " You have bewitched me body and soul." that just makes your heart sink. I would recommend this book to anyone who is a romance novel lover and to women who just want to believe in love again."
— Amy (4 out of 5 stars)
Pride and Prejudice captures the affections of class-conscious eighteenth-century English families with matrimonial aims and rivalries. This story of the Bennet family and the novel's two protagonists, Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, is told with a wit that author Jane Austen feared might prove "rather too light and bright, and sparkling."
The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and her proud beau, Mr. Darcy, is a splendid performance of civilized sparring. Austen's artistry is also apparent in the delineation of the minor characters: the ill-matched Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, Charles Bingley and his sisters, and particularly the fatuous Mr. Collins, whose proposal to Elizabeth is one of the finest comic passages in English literature.
Austen's radiant wit sparkles as her characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, making this book the most superb comedy of manners of Regency England.

" My wife has read Pride & Prejudice many times and watches the BBC series at least once a year. I always asked questions. Recently she asked me to listen to the audiobook. I took care in selecting a narrator's voice turns out Josephine Bailey was an excellent choice. Nearly all my questions were answered, I'll need to listen again to answer some new ones. What can I add that hasn't already been said about this book. Well for one thing I got an interesting glimpse at the woman's side of miscommunication. From Liz's description I thought why is Darcy being a dick? Were all these people insincere with their compliments? Is this still the case today? The word Love has a different meaning to women than for men, at least in this book. My wife says she's looking forward to discussing the book with me. Who knew that after 41 years of marriage we still find new topics to talk about. Husbands, give this book a listen. You'll be surprised. "

— Jduell, 2/20/2014" loved this book and i so want to read it again :] "
— Kera, 2/19/2014" This is most likely my favorite classic book. I have read it and re-read it many, many times! "
— Suki, 2/17/2014" Jane Austen is so clever and sarcastic, which is why this, the greatest love story of all time, is my favorite novel. "
— Allison, 2/16/2014" It started very slow, however,I soon found that I had been completely sucked in to the story. I also found myself in Elizabeth as she related to Mr Darcy "
— Abigail, 2/16/2014" Was only able to get through a few pages before putting it down. Too fluffy for me. "
— Annemarie, 2/16/2014" Although it took me some time to finish, this class novel completely swept me away. The language was difficult to follow at times, but still beautiful when I began to submerge myself in the reading. Elizabeth is sure to become on of my favorite Heroines. I feel a love/hate relationship with the characters, and rarely get so attached to a story. "
— Christa, 2/15/2014" i love mr. darcy and elizabeth's relationship "
— Trina, 2/15/2014" A book I tried to read when I was younger, and then reread in my twenties. It was funny, witty, and just a great time. "
— Kristen, 2/13/2014" Affection and love is something that is greater than anything. "
— Priya, 2/12/2014" It started out very boring but it got really good at the end. If you can make it through the first half, then the rest comes easily. "
— Hunter, 2/12/2014" No one compares to Jane Austen. From writing style to plot to characters, Pride and Prejudice is hands down her best novel. "
— Noor, 2/11/2014" One of the best books of all time. A Must-To-Read. You can really get inside the country, the society and the time of the story, you can almost feel you are talking with Elizabeth and Darcy, and they are sharing their story. "
— Kevin, 2/10/2014" Read it when i was young. Beautiful stories. Great Characters "
— Ekta, 2/8/2014" I couldn't put this book down! The language could be challenging at times if you weren't paying attention but the story is full of lovely twists and second chances. "
— Audrea, 2/8/2014" I love this story. I think it brings all those who read it back to a time before technology was created. "
— Lexi, 2/8/2014" The Lizzie Bennet Diaries! (on youtube) "
— Mariel, 2/8/2014" Although I have seen the BBC mini series and the film of this story (and love love love them by the way!), the book still had more to it than the series and the film. It's more detailed, which makes the character of mr. Bennet so funny, which gives more background information on the other characters in the story, which tells you what happens after the series and film are ended! It was also easier to feel the despair, the fear, the anxiousness etc.etc.. "
— Tamara, 2/8/2014" One if my favorite books ever. I read it the first time as a high school senior for English class and fell in love with Jane Austen. I read and reread all her work several years ago. Love. "
— Leticia, 2/7/2014" no matter how many times i try, i just can't get into this. "
— Skagirlie, 2/6/2014" Boring. 1800s Twilight - the invention of a new, racy genre for all the housewives out there. "
— Zoe, 2/5/2014" With no trouble whatsoever, i can definitley say that this is my favorite book. it is well written and moves smoothly between the events and the tone is one where you are not alienated by the characters or feel pity for them, you live with them. "
— Ghaliah, 2/4/2014" This novel is a masterpiece covering manners, morality, education and importance of marriage. All very contemporary topics. The character of Mr. Darcy is fascinating and intriguing to me. i enjoyed that love, in the end, prevails over Pride and Prejudice. "
— Deborah, 2/2/2014" This is my favorite book of all time. I read it about once a year. The verbal intelligence of the main characters is the highlight of this book. And to really love it you must put it in the context of the social and economic realities of the era (especially for women). "
— Kristin, 2/2/2014" While the more archaic writing style can be a challenge for some readers (i personally enjoyed the prose and expanded my vocabulary because of it) this books characters and themes transcend age. Wether it's with the iconoclastically headstrong protagonist, Lizzi, the absurdly funny Mrs. Bennet, the sycophantically comical Mr. Collins, the kind and diffident Jane or a host of other characters this book will receive your approbation. Thematically ideas of feminism, classism, and human pride and of course prejudice are all addressed. Apart from being an established classic in our culture (and therefore worthy of being read just because of this) Pride and Prejudice is a wonderful book. "
— Jake, 2/2/2014" This was amazing! I can't say enough about Emilia Fox and her rendition of Pride and Prejudice! As Caroline Bingley would say " she had the air and manner in her voice" that complimented every character in the book. I guess I was just a little surprised because I was prejudiced into thinking of little Georgiana Darcy and thought that was what you would get in her voice. But NO, she expertly read every Character as they ought to be read. I felt that I was watching the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice in my mind. This audio book is not to be missed by ANY Jane Austen fan! And I highly recomend it to anyone who is even thinking of reading any of Jane's works. This was truely wonderful and if I could rate it higher I would. "
— Charlene, 2/2/2014" still one of the best "
— Jess, 2/2/2014" I loved this book! Can it really be 200 years since its publication? I am all astonishment! "
— Beckyt, 1/31/2014" I really enjoyed this novel & am looking forward to reading more Jane Austen. The language was so rich, so engaging...although hard to get into at first. "
— Laura, 1/31/2014" Favorite EVER! JANE AND DARCY 5EVER! "
— Merpotterlockian, 1/30/2014" read as a kid, still love it. "
— Madhur, 1/29/2014" It is a truth universally acknowledged, that when a beloved novel celebrates the 200th anniversary of it's publication, one must be in want of reading it again. "
— Patti, 1/29/2014" No need to really review. If you have the chance to read Jane Austen, read this book. 5/5 stars. "
— Blair, 1/25/2014" Some how Austen created a story and characters that I can revisit in different mediums, modernized versions, Bollywood musicals, and I enjoy everyone of them. Of course, the book is the best version, but I don't swoon over Darcy like so many do. He's stiff and conservative and rather boring. But I love the story regardless. "
— Bethany, 1/24/2014" I could read this book over and over again...top 10 "
— Bonnie, 1/24/2014" I didn't expect to be so hooked with this classic novel. Admittedly, I found the first few chapters a bit dull, but as I went through the next few chapters, I was captivated by Lizzy's wit and Mr. Darcy's character. Jane Austen also gave me a glimpse of the life of England's young ladies way back in the 1800s. "
— Richelle, 1/24/2014" Pride & Prejudice was a much better written with much deeper character development and a much more intricate plot than Mansfield Park (all of which I find very interesting because it was written by an Austen in her late teens / early 20's yet maintained a wizened and deep sense of societal understanding and life experience). Keeping with the same themes, as Austen tends to all the time, this one had an ending that was appropriate and satisfying for the novel's purpose. It wasn't exactly realistic in outcome, but as a romance novel I'd like to think this could have actually happened. Anyway, now having read 2 of Austen's works, I think I'm pretty much a fan. "
— Alex, 1/23/2014" I really love this book. That's because I really am into earlier centuries setting. "
— Rhea, 1/23/2014" There is no romance in the 20th century, movie or book, that does not reference Austin. And out of those references of romance 8 out 10 times it is THIS book. There is no sex, no making out, not even a kiss, but girls sigh when Mr. Darcy asks if there is anyway she would consider him. True romance has very little to with sex, and any guy wants to learn the pitfalls to a girls heart here is a how to manual. "
— Marleahh, 1/22/2014" who doesn't fancy a sir like Mr Darcy "
— Alma, 1/21/2014" Read it when i was young. Beautiful stories. Great Characters "
— Ekta, 1/19/2014" Great classic, read it so many times, never gets old. Every girl should read this once. Plus we all deserve a Mr Darcy of our own. "
— Lucy, 1/19/2014" This novel is wonderful! I'm in love with Mr. Darcy so much! He is mysterious and very kind ! "
— Aisyah, 1/19/2014" Kind of confusing because of all those huge vocabulary words "
— Sophia, 1/19/2014" I never read this in my youth and was a little thrown of by my Kindle saying it was 4920 pages, but I persevered. I really liked this book and the characters. Since I've recently become a fan of Downton Abbey I was reminded of that and was envisioning England at that time. Very,very interesting. "
— Elaine, 1/19/2014" I am completely, utterly and madly in love with this novel. "
— shahbakht, 1/19/2014" My favorite book of all time. "
— April, 1/19/2014" My favorite. Wonderful classic that gets better every time I read it. "
— Rachel, 1/18/2014" I somehow missed reading this in school. I had a desire to read a classic and enjoyed it immensely. "
— Julia, 1/17/2014" Have to say I really enjoyed this book. The pacing was slower than I'm used to but the writing was superb and the characters really well developed. Of the books I've read from this period it was by far the most engaging and readable while also ticking the literary boxes you'd expect from a book with such a reputation. "
— Chris, 1/16/2014" Two stars is my rating from when I read this on my own in high school. I liked it more the second time through when we read it for class, and I started to understand the humor in it. I even wrote my AP English literary criticism/research paper on this book, which helped me appreciate it more than when I read it independently. "
— Lindsey, 1/16/2014" The book to which all others will forever be compared. My favorite, always and forever. "
— Amanda, 1/16/2014" I don't remember a lot of details about this book, but what I can remember is that it's a classic that kept me turning the pages. What's cool about this book is that it seems to mix genres; the style, at times, has the flowery and long-windedness of Victorian writing while being intriguing because of realism and so the complexity of characters. It's also cool because this book see-saws between the cultural setting of English history (reflected by the mannerisms and behaviors of characters) and self-containment (reflected by being able to forget about the cultural setting because of the plot and character development). "
— Kindra, 1/16/2014" This is one of my favorite stories. It's a great classic. "
— Bridget, 1/16/2014" All time favorite. Read dozen times. "
— Jasmine, 1/15/2014" My favourite book!!! Oh I just love Mr Darcy "
— Anita, 1/15/2014" I could read this book over and over again...top 10 "
— Bonnie, 1/14/2014" One of my very favorite books! "
— Cindy, 1/14/2014" Austen is very deceptivly cynical. I love the when the heroine falls in love with the hero after seeing his estate. Austen has been miscast as the source for so many romantic comedy when I have never read anyone who is more cynical about money and marriage. "
— James, 1/13/2014" I read this book at school and have very fond memories of it.. Mr D'Arcy and friends. Need to re read this classic novel "
— Danielle, 1/13/2014" Even though I had seen the movie before actually reading it, I still enjoyed it immensely. It is such a lovely love story with wonderful language. "
— Ali, 1/12/2014" Just as good as it was all the other times. "
— Kent, 1/11/2014" I am now proud to say that I have finally read this book. Being a teenager, I am more inclined to read fast-paced, fictional books like The Hunger Games and Harry Potter, but I have to say that aside from having a bit of trouble following along and keeping track of the four billion different characters (Lady Catherine, Mr. Bingley, Lydia, Kitty, Mr. Darcy, Jane, Mary, and Mr. Wickam being a few (sorry if I spelled some of their names wrong)) I quite enjoyed it. I have seen the movie but its been over a year so I had completely forgotten the storyline, although I remembered that I really liked it, and so thoroughly enjoyed revisiting it in book form. The characters were great, especially Mr. Darcy, Jane, and Elizabeth's mother (who was very funny in all her fussiness, and continual exclamations). I now understand why this is such a well-known and beloved classic, and am very pleased to have it as a part of my bookshelf. "
— Kena, 1/11/2014" Kind of confusing because of all those huge vocabulary words "
— Sophia, 1/10/2014" i just loved this book <3 "
— Aisling, 1/8/2014" I loved this book. It definitely has some epic quotations and I love the spirit of Elizabeth. "
— Leah, 1/8/2014" Was a bit skeptic at first, because i'm usually not into love stories like that. But ended up reading it in one session. Took me about 14 hours, only stopping to eat and stuff like that. "
— Heidi, 1/7/2014" this is my all-time-favorite romance story "
— Nesma, 1/6/2014" I don't think I'd read this since high school. Loved it. Amazed by the writing and the character development. Also interested in the contrast to Sense and Sensibility, which isn't nearly as polished. On to Mansfield Park. "
— Grace, 1/2/2014" There is no romance in the 20th century, movie or book, that does not reference Austin. And out of those references of romance 8 out 10 times it is THIS book. There is no sex, no making out, not even a kiss, but girls sigh when Mr. Darcy asks if there is anyway she would consider him. True romance has very little to with sex, and any guy wants to learn the pitfalls to a girls heart here is a how to manual. "
— Marleahh, 12/31/2013" Thank goodness this was assigned to both my daughters in the same year, forcing me to read another classic I'd missed along the way. I really couldn't put it down, and now my daughters tell me I have to watch the Lizzy Bennet diaries (developed by Hank Green & Bernie Su). "
— Julie, 12/29/2013" Love! One of the best books EVER! "
— Brenda, 12/29/2013" Epic romance without the sap! "
— Carmen, 12/27/2013" I love P&P. I first read it in HS and I've never looked back :) "
— Ilithyaegmail.com, 12/24/2013" was an amazing book. love the whole story line. "
— Bekk, 12/23/2013" Weird one for me to like, but won't lie. I liked it. "
— Jason, 12/21/2013" It started very slow, however,I soon found that I had been completely sucked in to the story. I also found myself in Elizabeth as she related to Mr Darcy "
— Abigail, 12/20/2013" Jane Austen is one of my favorites authors ever and this book is on my top five greatest books of all time. I adore her characters and it is simply an enjoyable read. This book is classic literature at its best. "
— Vanessa, 12/20/2013" was an amazing book. love the whole story line. "
— Bekk, 12/19/2013" I loved this book. It is one of my favorites and the only book I enjoyed reading at school. "
— Alaa, 12/19/2013" Kind of confusing because of all those huge vocabulary words "
— Sophia, 12/18/2013" I read this my Sophomore year of high school. As a class we could pick from about 4 different books, and I was the only student who chose P&P! I convinced some others to read it too and we did a play on it as our group project. "
— JR, 12/17/2013" I read this after reading Pride, Prejudice and Zombies, and much preferred the remake than the original. It is still pretty good, and despite knowing the basic story, was an entertaining read. "
— Danielle, 12/16/2013" Jane Austen - Articulate and descriptive as always! "
— Mamta, 12/11/2013" What can you say about this book? It's a classic. Probably one of the best novels ever written. The fact that it has stood the test of time is a testament to it's greatness. What girl doesn't want to find her Mr. Darcy? "
— Stephanie, 12/9/2013" I love Jane Austen books, and this did not disappoint! "
— Shelby, 12/6/2013" The plot line is very rich and detailed, following the Bennett sisters and their quest for love. At times, the book feels a bit colloquial, however, it is one the best love stories of all time. "
— Sam, 12/4/2013" Not big on the classics, but on a strong recommendation from a friend, i took the leap. was NOT disappointed. SO rich. "
— Brandon, 12/3/2013" What can I say? This is a classic and I'm glad I finally read it. I did fall in love with Mr. Darcy as well. "
— Jeanne, 12/1/2013" What can compare to the original words of Jane Austen...oh wait the BBC version with Colin Firth! "
— Stacie, 11/30/2013" I really enjoyed this book because of its happy ending. The story is very romantic and appealing to young women going through the same times as the Bennet girls. It is a loving story that I found entertaining to read. Both main characters end up married and happy which make me the reader happy. "
— Amy, 11/29/2013" Favorite book of all time-- "
— Jan, 11/28/2013" Beautiful book, one of my favorites! "

— Trisna, 11/23/2013" This is my comfort book. This is the book I turn to on rainy days and vacations. I am always swept away by this beautiful story. Pride and Prejudice will always be my favorite book "
— Jessica, 11/11/2013" I actually didn't enjoy this book as much as i thought it would. "
— Kee, 11/10/2013" Recently I have been re-discovering the classics. Funny how time will change one owns attitude about a book. When I was young, I never could finish this book, now as a mature adult, I find I can appreciate the book. "
— Reyannan, 11/8/2013" This is an important story for understanding the social mores of a past century. This especially demonstrates the restrictions placed on females in different cultures or even in the earlier centuries of our own culture. Plus this is a compelling love story. "
— Maureen, 11/5/2013" I think it's a very interesting book. full of life skills "
— Rocio, 11/5/2013" Very entertaining and funny. A great book. "

— Sarah, 10/28/2013" Converted. Absolutely loved this. This will be one of those books I keep going back to. "
— Annie, 10/27/2013" One of the great novels "
— Anthony, 10/25/2013" One of the best books I ever read. Long but such a clever description of the times. Great characters who are often misunderstood at first meeting. Usually I don't enjoy movies made from books, but PBS did a 5 hour production of this that was wonderful. "
— Laf, 10/14/2013" The storyline was interesting, but the plot was slow. It was very dramatic, but it was a good read all the same. "
— Ashleigh, 10/4/2013" Honestly I tried to read this twice in my life . I couldn't get into the book. It is maybe not my cup of tea ,but I was bored with it. "
— Caitlyn, 10/4/2013" No one compares to Jane Austen. From writing style to plot to characters, Pride and Prejudice is hands down her best novel. "
— Noor, 9/28/2013" why i recall some very old stories "
— Zhuo, 9/27/2013" Recently I have been re-discovering the classics. Funny how time will change one owns attitude about a book. When I was young, I never could finish this book, now as a mature adult, I find I can appreciate the book. "
— Reyannan, 9/25/2013" Mr Darcy = the original Peoples Sexiest Man Alive. Oh and of course it's a fantastically witty look on love and society "
— Cassidy, 8/31/2013" Truly brilliant ...what a writer..what an observer of people! "
— Edwina, 8/25/2013" One of the best books of all time. A Must-To-Read. You can really get inside the country, the society and the time of the story, you can almost feel you are talking with Elizabeth and Darcy, and they are sharing their story. "
— Kevin, 8/18/2013" "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." "
— pjreads, 8/12/2013" I Thought the book was pretty good, but not GREAT. For one, the settings of England in the 18th and 19th centuries are not settings that i am very fond. Other than that, I really liked all the different relationships and the need to get married. "
— Allison, 8/12/2013" I have read P & P at least five times and I believe it's one of the best novels ever written. Enjoy. "
— Usha, 7/28/2013" One of my favorites books "
— Beatrice, 7/21/2013" makes me believe in love. "
— Sonam, 7/10/2013" With no trouble whatsoever, i can definitley say that this is my favorite book. it is well written and moves smoothly between the events and the tone is one where you are not alienated by the characters or feel pity for them, you live with them. "
— Ghaliah, 6/28/2013" "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." "
— pjreads, 6/28/2013" My absolute favorite and one that I connect with and wish men were still honorable and admired true personality and soul. Ah, this is romance! "
— Sally, 6/26/2013" Even though I had seen the movie before actually reading it, I still enjoyed it immensely. It is such a lovely love story with wonderful language. "
— Ali, 6/13/2013" Beautiful. I read (listened to) this with a lot of apprehensions - I don't like classics per se - but really, this is beautiful. It did not move me, it did not emvelop me with its language; but all that is trivia. It engaged me. It was 14 and a half hours well spent. "
— Shom, 6/3/2013" No me canso de este libro, uno de mis favoritos "
— Tatiana, 5/28/2013" This book never gets old. The characters are relatable: funny and flawed. "
— Robyn, 5/17/2013" I think it's a very interesting book. full of life skills "
— Rocio, 4/11/2013" My favorite classic. Love it! "

— Heather, 3/22/2013" My favorite. Wonderful classic that gets better every time I read it. "
— Rachel, 3/11/2013" Hard read but well worth it!!! "
— Laura, 2/24/2013" The novel doesn't need an introduction, it introduced me to the intriguing world of classic fiction in my teens and that still is the most exuberant reading experience of the life. "
— Bushra, 2/18/2013" My favourite book from Jane Austen... this is such a classic book that every one should at least read once. "
— Kay, 2/6/2013" Jane Austen is so clever and sarcastic, which is why this, the greatest love story of all time, is my favorite novel. "
— Allison, 2/6/2013" I've read this so many times I have lost count! "
— Julie, 1/13/2013" I have never read a finer novel. The perfect novel. "

— Adrija, 12/29/2012" Learned to love Austen's books. "
— Jamie, 12/23/2012" One of the best books of all time. A Must-To-Read. You can really get inside the country, the society and the time of the story, you can almost feel you are talking with Elizabeth and Darcy, and they are sharing their story. "
— Kevin, 12/18/2012" I love all of Jane Austen's books. I think they have taught me as much about "character" as anything else. I just love falling into her character's art of conversation! "
— Fawn, 12/11/2012" I read this book once a year. "
— Amy, 12/3/2012" Loved the writing, loved the characters and love Jane Austen. Why or why didn't I read this book as a teenager. Well, it might have changed my life and then what? Best to have waited. "

— Julia, 11/13/2012" After watching the Lizzie Bennett diaries I thought I'd re-read this as its been ages. Probably going to take a while I've been busy but it's nice to be able to read a copy right in the app! "
— Lea, 11/12/2012" I enjoyed the movie more. That rarely happens. but the book was good. "
— Jenny, 11/8/2012" Mr Darcy = the original Peoples Sexiest Man Alive. Oh and of course it's a fantastically witty look on love and society "
— Cassidy, 10/23/2012" Great story....although I've seen many of the movie adaptations, I still was drawn in and wondering what was going to happen next. The only part that disappointed was the end. It just stopped. I much rather prefer the Kiera Knighley ending: "Mr. Darcy... Mr. Darcy... Mr. Darcy!" "
— Camille, 10/9/2012" It was fun to reread this (it's been at least a decade since I've read it) and at the same time watch a couple of the movie versions. Happy 200th birthday this year! "
— Jenny, 10/9/2012" What can compare to the original words of Jane Austen...oh wait the BBC version with Colin Firth! "
— Stacie, 10/6/2012" Never read the Indonesian version, but I kinda enjoyed the English version. I love Mr. Darcy!! Period. "
— Rafista, 9/19/2012" Ridiculously ahead of its time! "
— Robert, 9/14/2012" Weird one for me to like, but won't lie. I liked it. "
— Jason, 8/15/2012" Seriously, one of the most boring things I've ever read. Austen gets much better than this "
— Andrew, 8/2/2012" I love Jane Austen books, and this did not disappoint! "

— Christina, 5/16/2012" Beautiful book, one of my favorites! "
— Kasey, 5/11/2012" What can you say about this book? It's a classic. Probably one of the best novels ever written. The fact that it has stood the test of time is a testament to it's greatness. What girl doesn't want to find her Mr. Darcy? "

— Chloe, 3/1/2012" Jane austen is superb! there's nothing to say about her novels.& Pride & prejudice is known to all. "
— Adrija, 2/25/2012" My current favorite of Austin's works. Who couldn't love and root for Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth?!? "
— Onna, 2/16/2012" Fantastic characters and wit that Oscar Wilde would be proud of. The conclusion wraps up a bit hastily and Austen uses some incredible sentence structures, but everything is forgiven knowing that all is well at Pemberly. "
— Episoeder, 2/12/2012" Challenging book to read, but totally worth it! "
— Stephanie, 2/4/2012" I read this one in high school years ago and re-read back in 2009 ....I loved this book "

— Larik, 12/8/2011" Absolutely witty and hilarious. It requires a considerable amount of patience but worth it in the end. Loved Mr. Bennet's sense of sarcasm.. "
— Shreyas, 12/2/2011" This book is absolutely amazing. Jane Austen so masterfully portrays so many innate human quirks that are still present in society today. She unveils people for what we really are and shows us things about ourselves we seldom see. There's a reason why this is a classic. "
— Haley, 11/17/2011" A classic. I couldn't stop smiling near the end :) "
— Courtney, 11/10/2011" Love more every time I read it "

— Susan, 8/2/2011" As a self professed Pride and Prejudice lover it took me a while to get round to the book. "
— Sandy, 7/16/2011" In my very small "favorite books ever" pile. You do have to have a couple of functional neurons to understand the archaic English, but beyond that this is a great novel about being female, from the ridiculous to the sublime. "
— Lezro, 7/7/2011" THE BEST NOVEL EVAAAAAAA. THE ESSENCE OF BRILLIANCE . "
— Roo, 6/27/2011" This is the next book you should read it "

— Abigail, 5/3/2011" Layak disebut sebagai novel yang tak lekang oleh waktu.. Banyak karakter dan tiap karakter memberi kesan masing-masing... "
— Rhein, 4/20/2011" I Love the story but I had a hard time actually reading it. The language is sometimes hard to push through. I guess I am just used to a different way of talking. Loved Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. "
— Erin, 4/17/2011" One of the best books I ever read. Long but such a clever description of the times. Great characters who are often misunderstood at first meeting. Usually I don't enjoy movies made from books, but PBS did a 5 hour production of this that was wonderful. "
— Laf, 4/8/2011" it was good but had I not seen the movie I think the writing style would have prevented me from finishing it. love Darcy! "

— Frances, 1/8/2011Jane Austen (1775–1817) is considered by many scholars to be the first great woman novelist. Born in Steventon, England, she later moved to Bath and began to write for her own and her family’s amusement. Her novels, set in her own English countryside, depict the daily lives of provincial middle-class families with wry observation, a delicate irony, and a good-humored wit.
