Full review on my blog!

this was the first Jane Austen novel I ever picked up. I was hesitant for so long to actually read any of her work because I was sure it just isn’t for me. Pride and Prejudice is often branded as *the* romance novel and that’s not the content I ususally (read: ever) go for. But I kept seing so much content about the novel as well as the movie on tumblr that I got curious. After all it is considered a literally classic and I’ve been meaning to catch up on those anyways!

So there I was, finally reading P&P. And guess what? I loved it! To be frank, I still don’t care much about the romance part of the story, but the characters are amazing. Both Lizzie and Darcy are extremely relatable, for completely different reasons. The story feature so many iconic and hilarious moments, as well as amazing quotes! Nobody was more surprised than I was with how delighted I am with this book!

There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.

4.5 stars

I always knew I would enjoy it but then I suppose I must learn to be content with being happier than I deserve.

I never quote a book twice in a review. This one really did a number on me.

Loved it to absolute bits!

This book is pretty good, actually. It just wasn't my cup of tea, I guess.

I enjoyed this a lot more than I was expecting, especially given the fact that it's damn near impossible for me not to know the story going in.

Yup. I love this book too.

Ok, I finally decided to throw in the towel. I'm sorry but really tried to get past the antiquated language but it just didn't work out.

Took me an entire year to finish Pride and Prejudice. I read a fifth of the book before taking a break from it. Whenever I looked at it on my bedside table, I felt nearly anxious about casting it aside, even though I had been bored stiff. Thanks to the audiobook, however, I did manage to finish it. Surprisingly, I came to like quite a few things. Can't say I loved it but I didn't end up hating it as I thought I might when I restarted it a few days ago.
