Slow moving but well written, a classic.

A very modern novel despite the fact that the story was written during the 19th century. We can transpose the complexities of the characters and their feelings to our current society and to us. I am a fan of Jane Austen's novels.

If you're looking for a mushy summer read that won't overtax your brain, but won't make you feel like you're getting dumber at the same time, you've found it. Pride and Prejudice is definitely one of my favorite works ever. I feel like you either wind up loving Austen or hating her. Her stories follow, mostly, the same formulas over and over, but her characters are each so fleshed out that each new book has you falling in love and rooting for them all over again.

Absolutely wonderful! Recommended reading for any gal...and it probably wouldn't hurt the guys to read it and discover just why so many females swoon over our beloved Mr. Darcy.

   Of course this book is about love. Love that changes people, that makes them better than they used to be. This book gives you great feeling that real love – the one and for the rest of your life – exists. It gives you warm feeling inside you, tuning your soul to love. That’s the magic power of this book.      Although I’m not really found of love stories or love novels I’ve really enjoyed reading this book.   The book “Pride …

In my top 5 favorite books. This is a masterpiece! My favorite Jane Austen book! I love the Bennet family; Elizabeth being my favorite! She's so smart and strong and in the end the luckiest girl to ever be written into existence!

I didn't like it much but it's not bad. It's just not the sort of novel I enjoy.

Wayne Josephson has taken on a task that many may find offensive - re-writing classic books - and even place him in the realm of sneaking in cliff notes or even Classic Comics! But those people who would dare to make such judgments have simply not read Wayne Josephson's selfless, respectful adaptations of books such as his highly regarded Readable Classics versions of 'Jane Eyre', 'The Scarlet Letter', 'Moby Dick', now 'Pride and Prejudice' and soon 'Emma'.    Reading this version …

I really loved this novel and didn't mind reading it in English class even though I had already read it a few times before.

I'm not sure why, but the period language isn't really a barrier to staying interested in this novel.

If you look at this book from the humor perspective, you will understand it a lot better.

hard to get through for me mostly because of the sappy-ness. I guess you can't beat a classic but in that case, classics aren't for me.

The vocabulary is interesting, author's simply do not write the same way now. I enjoyed the historical elements, but it is a slow read.

Quite well-written, but...I can't say I fell in love with the characters.
