Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen
I must admit that when I first picked up this book, my sole motivation to read it was that I should, because it was a classic, and one can’t go through life without reading such famous literature as this. I was completely ignorant to the beauty of the story that lay within.
Are you independent-minded? Do your parents embarrass you? If so, you hold much in common with Miss. Elizabeth Bennet. Elizabeth is an intelligent, outspoken young woman when wealthy Mr. Bingley arrives in town with a party of his friends. Mr. Bingely is amiable and polite, and invites all the ladies of the area to a ball in his home so that everyone can become acquainted. Elizabeth immediately takes a strong disliking to Bingley’s aloof friend Mr. Darcy, who acts proud, superior, and socially introverted. Her disgust is only fed by the terrible rumors of him that circulate through the neighborhood. Darcy unexpectedly confesses his love for Elizabeth, and she replies with bitter words and accusations. But before long, Elizabeth unwillingly starts to fall in love herself.
This novel is a touching love story, and I am very glad that I have read it. I recommend this to absolutely anyone. Just one hint: Don’t follow my lead and read this novel because you should; but read it because the story will undoubtedly draw you in and capture your heart.

It's one of my goals this summer to finally actually read the whole book! I love the story but have just never managed to finish the book.
I really enjoyed reading this review, and it motivated me to begin reading Pride and Prejudice again. Also, if you haven't read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, it is a decently entertaining read. It's pretty much the same story with a few good one liners slid into the dialogue and the sisters are zombie slayers.
I loved this book!!!!!!
My older sister read it and convinced me to read it as well! It is now one of my favorite books! Great Article!!
