Pride and Prejudice

by Jane Austen

This is a classic, that must be read, or re-read as an adult if you have read it in the past in school. The novel it timeless, and Jane Austen writes like no one else. She inspries with her characters and the book puts to the age old question of seeking a mate with deeper qualities, or more shallowly choosing based on monetary benefits that will result. Jane writes with humor, yet great detail and accuracy in most aspects. Fiction, but true to life in her time, as well as ours. It was a joy to read this book as I felt her style was charming, and uplifting, and brought me to another world each day when I would pick up the book for my "dose of Miss Austen". If you do not like flowery writing, this book is not for you. If you like details that many authors overlook, then this book is defintiely for you. I am looking forward to picking up to read other Jane Austen novels as well as seeing the recently released movie, "Being Jane" that just came out about the life of the author.
