Description
The carefully controlled and chess-like movements of polite society often conceal passionate hearts, keen minds, and rebellious wills. High-spirited Elizabeth Bennet attempts to stay true to her ideals while her meddlesome mother schemes to get all five Bennet sisters married and to secure their family's fate at all costs. Can a girl who refuses to abandon her independent and scrutinizing ways find true love and a faithful heart? More than one unexpected twist and shocking revelation await our heroine as she must choose between the dashing Mr. Wickham and proud, aloof Mr. Darcy.

About the Author
Educated and trained in her craft largely within her family home, Jane Austen (1775-1817) developed a singularly sharp eye and keen wit for chronicling the lives, loves, and misadventures of the English gentry. Although little-read during her lifetime, Austen has since been awarded a lasting place as one of the most brilliant English women ever to put pen to paper. Austen's novels Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Persuasion, and Northanger Abbey welcome readers of all ages and eras to delight in their timeless humor and poignancy.

Intelligently Done, A Pleasure to Read
Jane Austen's books always are a pleasure to read. All her trademarks are here: an extremely well-thought plot, an extremely colorful cast of characters, and commentary on society--ranging from subtle wit to blunt judgment. It's important to realize that this is not your everyday love story. Though many have attempted to mirror or modernize the story of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth, you have to remember that Austen did it first. Worth all the hype it gets and then some, but to truly do Pride and Prejudice justice, you have to read the book.

Loved it!
I really liked the characters - Eliizabeth's wittiness was refreshing, and Darcy's mysterious character intruiging. Though I sometimes wanted to slap Darcy, it was an amazing read.

One to read often
I think despite it's many movies, this is a book best enjoyed as it is, a book, curled up, with the reader getting lost in it.
