      Fun reread. Delightful and witty. :)
    • 4/5
      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. 3.9/5Esta 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.
    • 5/5
      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.
    • 1/5
      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?
    • 5/5
      What else is there to say about this novel, or what can I add to the numerous reviews that have been written already?Only my own reactions: That I loved rereading this so much, even more than I had expected. It is so lively and witty, so emotional and heartfelt, yet never cheesy or shallow. It is funny and comical, but never unjust in its authenticity. While the story is firmly rooted in its time, the features of the characters are timeless and still true to life. And I do think that Elizabeth Bennet must be one of the best female characters ever written!
    • 5/5
      Fingers crossed, my binging might be at an end; after my last book , I had a sudden desire to re-read Pride and Prejudice and when I went to my shelves to grab a copy (it being amongst the titles I have no willpower to refuse whenever I see one in the shops), I saw this one waiting for me. Perfect.Of course, Pride and Prejudice, is a 5-star read for me, once and always, but this edition gets 5 stars for the format. Since my discovery of Griffin & Sabine, I’ve been a sucker for books with physical bits that are part of the story, and truly, my thoughts when purchasing this went no further than ‘ooh! letters!’. But upon opening it, I read the introduction by Barbara Heller and realised this isn’t just a novelty, but a tremendous amount of effort went into creating the letters themselves as accurately as possible. Not just hand-written, but hand-written in replica’s of period letters, each character being assigned a distinctive hand; Heller then found the Society of Scribes of New York, and members wrote each letter with pen and ink, using the imperfections inherit in handwriting to achieve perfection.The folding, addressing and postage too were all painstakingly researched and replicated, involving advice and instruction from the treasurer of the Midland (GB) Postal History Society.All efforts to avoid anachronisms were made, and the only variation from true authenticity are the few (2?) pivotal letters where Austen herself only quotes them partially. Here, as Heller states in the introduction, and in the Appendix, where she has notes on each letter individually, some compromise had to be made. As it would do no good to only include the part of the letter quoted in the text, Heller consulted various sources, and from the summaries given in the text, attempted to recreate what the original letter might have been. Here, I think, she only partially succeeds, as there was just no matching the tones exactly, but she made up for this by keeping these ad libs as brief as possible so as not to interfere with the authenticity any more than strictly necessary.MT made the comment that the book looked unwieldy to read, and I agree that some might find the way the text block is broken up by the glassine envelopes, making the book feel ‘crunchy’ might annoy or turn off some readers, but I frankly loved it. It made the feel of the book somehow ‘more’, like a scrapbook of an adventurous life, perhaps.So, a novelty, definitely, but a novelty done with authenticity and every effort at verisimilitude. Definitely not something that would enhance every title, but the importance of letter-writing to Austen’s works makes it a perfect fit. This is definitely an edition I’d give to any Austen fan who enjoys something just a little more from their favorite titles.
    • 4/5
      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.
    • 5/5
      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.

      Just delightful. =)
    • 4/5
      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.
    • 4/5
      I am going to fall into the minority when I say that I was not crazy enough about the book to give it five stars. It is not the fault of the writing or the story, it is just the fault of the tiresome high society which the novel is supposed to satirise, and did a good job of this.

      The characters are well-drawn and colourful but nothing really happens in the story apart from the inner musings of the characters which makes for a long drawn out monologue. I found the final bit especially tiresome with the long drawn out denouement which could have been finished in one or two paragraphs. I did not need long explanations of why Darcy fell in love with Elizabeth, and when.

      The pompous cousin Mr Collins was good for a laugh, like the empty-headed mother, with her constant nerves and endless scheming to secure matches for her daughters, while having a very superficial view of what constitutes a good match. The father is the stereotypical male who escapes from the drudgery of his domestic life into books and male hobbies. The two younger sisters are wonderful in their preoccupation with fashion, boys and uniforms. And the middle girl, Mary, is fascinating in her rebellion and escape into the intellectual world. I would have loved to read more about her.

      It is amazing how much nuance Austen managed to pack in this story where nothing much happens, in terms of action. I understand the timeless appeal of the book as it talks to universal themes. Some of the characters in the book remind me of people I have known in modern life, and the moralising is also familiar to me from middle eastern society. The story can be very successfully adapted to a modern day Middle Eastern family drama.







    • 5/5
      The story of Pride and Prejudice from Mary Bennet's point of view, with the addition of new characters which takes the story beyond canon. Can Mary also have her happy ending.
      An enjoyable and well-written story. Another re-read

      Rereading Jane Austen is like seeing an old girl friend and catching up on the gossip. You know it's going to be funny and informative, and a great time.
    • 3/5
      I gave this book the 100 page test and realized that it just wasn't appealing to me. I know it's a classic novel and I appreciate that given the time period when it was written, but I just couldn't go any further.
    • 4/5
      What can I write about a book so famous, well-loved, and thoroughly studied? Well at first I was putt off because it felt like I was reading the screenplay of the BBC miniseries, which I have seen enough times to have memorized. It was also not a book well-suited to reading in very small chunks. Fortunately, a long plane trip allowed me to delve in and really immerse myself in the language which greatly improved the reading experience. Of course, it's a wonderful story with a wonderful ending.
    • 4/5
      The Short of It:This beloved classic has finally been read by me. Any surprises? No, but I am glad to finally mark this one off my list.The Rest of It:If you’ve read the book or seen the movie, then you know that the Bennet sisters, all five of them are in some stage of being married off to suitable gentleman. Well, Mrs. Bennet HOPES for them to find suitable matches, men who will provide for them and allow them to live a respectable, if not wealthy life. Men of means.I think perhaps this aspect of the story is what’s kept me from the book all these years. I’ve tried to read it a handful of times and always put it down a few chapters in. It seemed too frivolous and a tad too pleasant. All this “finding a man” business. However, this made for a VERY enjoyable story to read during a pandemic.Plus, Mr. Darcy. The disagreeable Mr. Darcy if you ask Elizabeth Bennet. Anyone reading the book knows within two mentions of his name that he won’t be disagreeable for long. What made this book even more fun is that my daughter and I watched the movie as soon as I finished the book. I did not have access to the miniseries with Colin Firth so we opted for the Kiera Knightly movie which we both enjoyed quite a bit.There are no surprises with the story. It’s pretty much what I imagined but timing is everything and reading it now was so much more enjoyable than all my previous attempts. I dare say, that I may attempt another Austen. If so, which?For more reviews, visit my blog: Book Chatter.

      I love this book. I have seen some of the movie versions, but none of them seem to match up to the movie in my head. The story is well told. Some of the characters are stereotypes and predictable, but that's what makes it so fun. It is such a statement of the culture - than and now!
    • 5/5
      Seriously, this book is my first, my last, my everything. I read it slowly to savor it fully (also, it's been super busy around my house), and it was just the balm I needed. Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are deliciously complex, and the slow burn of their coming together remains deeply satisfying to this day. Plus, Jane Austen is full of The Shade, with wry asides that would make RuPaul's drag racers very, very jealous.

      February 25, 2020 update: It is a truth universally acknowledged that when you get to teach your favorite book for an elective class with people who CHOOSE to be there, you're going to have a most excellent time. I didn't realize just how deeply embedded this book is within me until I got to talk about it in 75-minute class periods with students.
    • 5/5
      I was disappointed with Sense & Sensibility when I re-read it recently; no such disappointment here. This is one of the best novels of the century. I still aspire to be Mr. Bennett, albeit with three fewer daughters. The youngest three, to be precise.
    • 5/5
      One of my massive favourites; required reading for lovers and writers.
    • 4/5
      This was a pretty good read, the character traits are certainly as relatable in the 1800s as they are today.Not sure I will be rushing out to read more Jane Austen but I can certainly appreciate the story for what it was. I did think after all the lead up the ending was rather adrupt however.
    • 5/5
      It was time for my annual (or so) re-reading of one of my favorite books. A classic romance plot, a marvelous send-up of society's expectations, and beautifully written.
    • 4/5
      Is Mr. Bennet anyone else's favorite? Is Mr. Collins anyone else's least favorite?
    • 4/5
      I am arguably the world's biggest romantic cynic, but even the most impenetrable heart must yield to words such as these: "She respected, she esteemed, she was grateful to him, she felt a real interest in his welfare; and she only wanted to know how far she wished that welfare to depend upon herself, and how far it would be for the happiness of both that she should employ the power, which her fancy told her she still possessed, of bringing on the renewal of his addresses." Austen has an instinct for the nuances of human behavior: the blush of the cheek, the awkward silence, the perplexity, the mortification, the often subtle shifts between adoration and aversion. She captures it all flawlessly and truthfully.
    • 2/5
      2 copies: one paperback; the other an ebook on my ipad (obtained Nov. 2018). This is not for me. Austen is admittedly and justly a famous author...My ranking is just my enjoyment of this book, not its worth. As a classic, it deserves a place as a very important book. However, my dislike of nineteenth century high society Britain, of nattering about politesse and what is appropriate or not, and the opinions of an upper class woman about who is an appropriate husband/ what makes a man a good catch just leave me cold. The anti-heroes also seem to be cardboard cutout figures: if you know what would put someone in a bad light, then that is what any particular negative character will do! Granted, the sycophant is well distinguished from the controlling and opinionated higher society woman, but my objection still stands: what would a sycophant do here? Then he does exactly that. The shrewish woman who bosses everyone around? Well, what could she do badly and she does just that! The man of evil but charming character? Well, once again, he does not vary from what such a man will always do. Too harsh? Probably...but like I said, this is just not my type of writing. Brilliantly done? Sure, on many levels...still do not want to read another book like it.
    • 5/5
      To be fair, I did start this book 2 or 3 times before dedicating myself to reading its entirety. The verbiage was difficult to follow until I fell into the rhythm.

      For the longest time, Mr. Bennet was my favorite character. I loved his sense of humor. Mrs. Bennet, however, irked me to no end. Lydia... I am too familiar with her personality. I do feel better about Kitty’s future now that Lydia’s influence is no longer an immediate concern. Studious Mary. I believe she’ll outdo them all.

      I haven’t forgotten the two eldest sisters. I would imagine finding the positive in everyone and everything would be absolutely tiresome. All worked out fine for Jane, though.

      Elizabeth was an interesting character. Observant, knowledgeable, and self-assured, until her future came into question. The truth is easier to come by with straightforward conversation instead of relying on perceived observations.

      Then there’s the boys. Wickham, Collins, Bingley, Darcy... I could go on forever about every character in the book. Needless to say, the entrance of each added a unique layer to the story.
    • 5/5
      What can I say about this wonderful book which I knew would be wonderful before I even read it! I'm really not going to say too much, because haven't we all read it anyway? Oh, you haven't? Well, what are you waiting for? Jane Austen had such a knack with her characters and settings. Even as much as I love the films based on the books, the book really is a literary masterpiece. These people and their stories never get old because, although set in a different era, they are just like us. They hurt, love, hate, jest, and experience joy in every day things, just as we do. Such simple stories really, but how can we not identify with them when they could very well be happening to us. This is why I think Jane endures. Not just for her beautiful settings and her pretty and sometimes funny characters, but for her true insight into the workings of the human heart. Well done, Jane!
    • 5/5
      First time!! I started it for my book group and thought - I can't even pay attention long enough to figure out what they are saying hahahahah... but I got it- and then I couldn't put it down. I'm glad I was "forced" to read it.
    • 4/5
      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.
