Product Description:
For over 150 years, Pride And Prejudice has remained one of the most popular novels in the English language. Jane Austen herself called this brilliant work her 'own darling child.' Pride And Prejudice, the story of Mrs. Bennet's attempts to marry off her five daughters is one of the best-loved and most enduring classics in English literature. Excitement fizzes through the Bennet household at Longbourn in Hertfordshire when young, eligible Mr. Charles Bingley rents the fine house nearby. He may have sisters, but he also has male friends, and one of these—the haughty, and even wealthier, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy—irks the vivacious Elizabeth Bennet, the second of the Bennet girls. She annoys him. Which is how we know they must one day marry. The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and Darcy is a splendid rendition of civilized sparring. As the characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, Jane Austen's radiantly caustic wit and keen observation sparkle.
Amazon.com Review:
Elizabeth Bennet is the perfect Austen heroine: intelligent,generous, sensible, incapable of jealousy or any other major sin. Thatmakes her sound like an insufferable goody-goody, but the truth isshe's a completely hip character, who if provoked is not aboveskewering her antagonist with a piece of her exceptionally sharp --but always polite -- 18th century wit. The point is, you spend thewhole book absolutely fixated on the critical question: will Elizabethand Mr. Darcy hook up?
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Beautiful Classic
This book is a timeless and beloved classic. It's a beautiful story of class in Jane Austen's time that appeals to us today because it is so well-wrtitten.It's scrupulously clean morally, and I would recommend it to anyone who appreciates the time when love stories were wholesome and pure and touching. All the characters have an appeal that's makes you appreciate the way they fit into the story.
Rating: - Worth paying for on the Kindle
Kindle owners hopefully are aware of the wealth of free editions of the classics which are available through Feedbooks and other sources.
I obtained a copy of P&P from feedbooks originally and while it was easy to get and the price was right, the overall quality of the text is not great.I've found several typos, presumably the result of OCR errors and it's somewhat distracting.
Since P&P is one of my wife's favorite books, I was delighted to see

Rating: - What a Year for the Bennets
As much as this book revolves around three of the four daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, all of those characters revolve around Mr. Darcy - whose personality and character matures and unfolds before you.
Neither poor nor rich, the Bennets cannot establish great wealth and comforts for their children - and Mrs. Bennet's hard opinionated character further deprives the lovely lasses of possibilities for advancement.But, through the character weakness(es) will come happiness in all levels ... Read More
Rating: - as always, better than the movie
I enjoyed this book thoroughly. It takes a little bit of time to get used to the language used, but once you get into it, it is hard to put down. A true romance. Why doesn't it happen like that anymore? :)
Rating: - Pride and Prejudice
It seriously does not get any better than this! This book unfolds slowly allowing you to fall in love with the characters and get a feel that world and time. An amazing love story, it leaves you wanting more!
