Pride and Prejudice was a wonderfully written classic that everyone will enjoy. This book was written by the well known author, Jane Austen, who has written many award winning books.
This was a wonderfully written love story about a family in the 1700's called the Bennets and their beautiful daughters, their favorite being Elizabeth. The family comes in contact with a rich handsome young man named Mr. Darcy. The two, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy, met at a dance and they talked but never really decided to stay together because Mr. Darcy gave the impression that he didn't want to be with Elizabeth. There was a conflict though between Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth. It was Mr. Wickham, the man who loved Elizabeth, but she didn't really love him. After a while, Mr. Darcy met up with Elizabeth again and something happened that changed the rest of their lives. The rest of the sisters all have to have a man to marry and some may want the same one so they'll do daring things to get him. This story revolves around Elizabeth's love life, which is very interesting. This book really gives you the idea of life in the 1700s and how love could influence your love life in a very significant way. This is a wonderful love story about a girl just growing up in love.
I think that if you love reading romantic books than this is the book you would love to read. Also, if you really enjoy reading about the 1700s this will explain their life style. This is the best book that I've ever read, I think. I definitely think that this book is a 10.
