Pride and Prejudice

emily_alwubayran shared a tip "A quaint, whimsical, timeless classic filled with style and wit. A warning against frivolous gossip, societal constrains, expectations, and the premature judgement of others, this novel, with all the charming shrewdness of 19th century literature, has rightly earned its countless adaptations and tributes. A light read that nearly anyone can appreciate."

awesome_user_350835 shared a tip "Pride and Prejudice was extremely boring to me. I could barley get through half of the book. I don’t really get all the hype on that book."

eris_lynn24 shared a tip "Favorite book of all time. It’s just fantastic. From the word choice and sentence structure Austen uses to express emotion and set the scene to the entire plot line. It’s a novel I have read at least 6 times and will read again many more times before I’m gone."

abby_hammond_976 shared a tip "I visited England and did not find Mr. Darcy. That was disappointing. The book, however, was not disappointing at all. :p I can’t count how many times I’ve read it!!"

alexzandreta_ravenor shared a tip "I first watched the 90s mini series with Colin Firth. I have since seen multiple adaptations and read the annotated version of this book."

yvonne_wright shared a tip "There’s something wonderfully timeless about the main characters Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy. The slow dance around denial and affection—and denial of that affection. Leading to the epic masterpiece we know Pride and Prejudice to be; the many adaptions or play on their stories only go to further prove the magnitude of the novel."

tabitha_743 shared a tip "I’d say Jane Eyre. It’s a pretty good ‘complicated’ slow burn love story without needing a lot of graphic scenes—a very psychological romance that doesn’t come easily and gives you a gratifying, well-deserved ending. How about yourself?"

ajforsberg shared a tip "If you have read any classics but haven't read Pride and Prejudice, then stop what you're doing and pick up this book! Between all the misunderstandings, arrogance, and classism, this book is a shining beacon of early feminism, granting readers the privilege of a female narrative about feminine concerns, in the 1800's. It is witty and well crafted, from start to finish. Do yourself a favour and give this book a read!"

cuttingyourownbangs shared a tip "Persuasion, Mansfield Park, and Emma are far better, but this is JA at her most accessible. Good place to start, not a great measure of Austen overall."

alexis_ann_4766 shared a tip "Absolutely!! Jane Austen does a phenomenal job of exhibiting both the lives of women when they did not have a voice and were judged in a male dominated society while including romance and intrigue."

nina_lombardi shared a tip "It personally amazing she stood up for shelf in which at that time dint happen but she it icon so it’s the book so beautifully written"

brooklyn_bain shared a tip "No one can beat this book. Even after all the movie adaptations and a general idea even without reading, you can't help but be captivated by it."

daisy_ray_9795 shared a tip "I can’t get enough pride and prejudice so much that I just keep reading it over and over and then I see the movie another weekend and choose different versions of the movie"

Marla_Singer1618 shared a tip "It's a classic for a reason. This has been and always will be a masterpiece that never fails to whisk you back to a deliciously decadent time of decorum and romance. A time where cunning and moral fiber came hand in hand and poetic vernaculars was commonplace, no matter your place in society. Whether you be a relative of royalty or a financially barren farm girl, you always spoke with eloquence and pride. #romance #janeausten"

dana_4029 shared a tip "The story makes you question yourself and how you view the world while still being entertaining on different levels.#romance #wit#world_view"

lindsay_bravo shared a tip "I'm working on the Hunger Games sequel. It's taking me a while to finish it. It's good, its just me-i have a really hard time reading books now."

rach_1232 shared a tip "I read this book because I loved the 2005 movie version of Pride and Prejudice. The book was amazing, even better than the movie, and more in-depth than the movie. It is a longer read but definitely worth reading. 10/10 would recommend"

beatrice_colgan shared a tip "The minute I finished only the first chapter I knew it was for me, I love old writing styles and classic stories about the 1800's!"

justlisten shared a tip "Is it worth the read? The movie adaptation is my favorite movie of all time and I was wondering if reading this would be time well spent or wasted?"

stephanie_gillam shared a tip "A good example of a movie adaptation done perfectly. I watched the movie (2005 version) first and years later I read the book, and I thoroughly enjoyed both. For a classic it was easy to read and the language didn't take too much to get used to. A good starting point if you looking to start reading some classics or Jane Austen."
