    Incredible to see how, two centuries later, some roles and characters behaviors still apply to our society...
    Who does not know a "Mrs Bennet like" person?

    The fact that Darcy would separate Jane and Bingley (due to her indifference) is rather unusual. Later he proposes to her sister, Elizabeth, who at the time, has no positive feelings towards him - indifference or otherwise. Everyone else seems to notice this fact, expect Darcy. I guess love is blind. I tend to think Mr. Darcy was more shy than proud.
    There are also too many far-fetched coincidences, which don't completely convince me. However, it is still a classic!

    If you love witty conversations, this book is a must-read. The story is also good. However, the ending is just too happy and simple.

    Although the book was a bit difficult to understand at first, it was certainly worth the read. It's one of those books that you never get tired of; some parts were boring, I have to admit, and the ending was a big disappointment, but it's still worth the read--guaranteed!

    Everyone likes this book? Really? I am almost 2/3 into it and am bored to death. I will see it through- I read it on my iPad at the gym, but am really struggling. Guess I am just not a romantic at heart as I want to slap them all.

    This book is near perfection on its own. Ignoring Ms. Austen's own turbulent love-life, the play of this book is a very astute representation of the workings and inner workings of the relationships and situations posed within the novel. The base relationship, from which all the sisters can be viewed is, of course, that of Mr. and Mrs. Bennett. Initially I found Mr. Bennett quaint and cute in his responses and dealings with his tiring wife, but upon further study and viewing interpretations, the aforementioned Bennett, I think, comes across as crass, upwardly mobile and disappointingly shallow. With these traits and the hyperactivity and dramatisims of his lady wife. the daughters cant' have much hope of turning out as perfect characters.
    Next time!- Jane...
    Ps. There is, I think, an excellent book on the market, by one McCullough, Colleen. It explores the married lives and spionsterhood of the Miss Bennets and Mary Bennett. Highly emjoyable and an interesting perspective of the 'Happily ever after'.

    Out of all the relationships in the novel which one do you believe most relates to your own relationship and are they therfore healthy realtions built on the pedestal of true love? Why do you believe Darcy and Elizabeth make a perfect match? What do you believe are the pros and cons of each of the realtionships in the novel?

    I absolutely love this book! It inspires me to look deeper into the personalities of people I only took a first glance at. I haven't heard many of my friends talk about it, because not many of them have read it, so if you could rate it out of ten (one being the lowest and ten being the highest) what would you give it?
