Dario Marianelli is such a great composer and besides the beauty of the story of Pride & Prejudice and the talent of Joe Wright, all those factors made the movie like a magical, beautiful dream. Playing these sheets is on my list!

It's a very wonderful story, talks about the beauty of love and how this thing can affect one person's life. It all started with Mr Bingley, a wealthy young bachelor, moving into Netherfield Park in the neighbourhood of the Bennet family. Mr Bingley is soon well-received, while his friend Mr Darcy makes a less favourable first impression by appearing proud and condescending. When Elizabeth Bennet overhears herself slighted by Mr Darcy, she forms a prejudice against him. Mr Bingley singles out Elizabeth's elder sister, Jane, for particular attention and it soon becomes apparent that they have formed an attachment to one another. I love the character of Elizabeth Bennet who is the protagonist of the novel and the reader sees the unfolding plot and the other characters mostly from her viewpoint. She is the second of the Bennet daughters, she's intelligent, lively, attractive, and witty, but with a tendency to judge on first impressions and perhaps to be a little selective of the evidence upon which she bases her judgments. As the plot begins, her closest relationships are with her father, her sister Jane, her aunt Mrs Gardiner, and her best friend Charlotte Lucas. While Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy however is the main male character who appears to be a handsome, tall, and intelligent man, but not convivial, his aloof decorum and rectitude are seen by many as an excessive pride and concern for social status. However, he makes a poor impression on strangers, but is valued by those who know him well.rude, handsome and rich man. Mr Darcy is the wealthy owner of the famous family estate of Pemberley in Derbyshire. I like how the story revolve between the two main characters and how different their social status was, that they was able to proved that it's not a hindrance between two wonderful people who truly love each other. Jane Austen's work reveals the importance of environment and upbringing on the development of young people's character and morality and I think that's what this book is all about.This novel retains readers like me fascination to value my family, to stand for my principles in life and to believe in the beauty of Love, that someday I'll be able to find that man who's worth the risk and is worthy of my love. Thus, this novel is my all time favorite book.

I must admit that I didn't read this book until AFTER I saw the movie (which is deliciously romantic and fabulous), and I know this is criminal because it is a classic. All I can say is that I was not disappointed...even though I already knew the story and how it ended the book kept me turning pages and breathless the whole way through!

This is one of my favorite albums ever. It is so calming and beautiful. Also, the movie is really great, too.

i loved this book. i love how Jane Austen creates her characters so different from one another. Especially with the main character Elizabeth and her sisters. Five sisters and their each have their own uniquness that makes them stand out from one another. While reading this book, i really felt as that even though each girl was so different from the next, that in some way or another, i was able to connect to everyone of them. I also saw how society and where they were growing up affected their personality. Like Elizabeth who is the rebellious one in the family, who stands up for what she believes in, despite the fact that during her time period, women were supposed to keep thei mouths shut and wait to be married off.
After reading this book, i liked it so muched that i borrowed and watched the movie. i watched the one made in 2005 and i really liked it.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a challenging read.

I saw the movie pictured on the cover of this edition before I ever read the book. I haven't ever been a fan of Anne of Avonlea or Anne of Green Gables or anything that requires 5 videotapes for a single movie so I was hesitant to enter the world of Pride and Prejudice. That said, I loved the movie and I loved the book. There is a reason why it's a classic. The characters are what really got me. I loved their intracacies and the story really held my interest. Still, everytime my husband sees the movie come on he thinks it looks depressing so he's never seen it.

I love playing these songs! It probably comes from loving the movie. My favorite piece to play is the first one... 'Dawn.' The songs have a clean, uncluttered air about them. These are written for an intermediate level to master and yet have enough difficult aspects to keep a really skilled player entertained. Of cource the most important thing to take away from this review is how beautiful these songs really are!
Want to Read
February 25, 2010I would like to read this book because I am really interested in the early 1800s, how women and society in general, were treated. I like to read about dictators,monarchy and kingdoms,Queen Elizabeth and King Loui. I really enjoyed the movie, The Other Boyleyn Girl, that talks about the life of Anne Boyleyn: the mother of Queen Elizabeth, and I find those times to be very interesting.

Who knew Jane Austen was funny?!? This was a little hard to read at first but eventually her English became my second language. I love how the dynamics between family members is so similar today to the way it was in the 1800s...it's ridiculous! I will definitely be reading another one of her books.

Well, I suppose I'm still reading this one because I'm working on trying to play these! Not too easy, but I didn't expect that. As long as I can get to a pretty-sounding "Georgiana," I'll be very happy.

When I buy music from a soundtrack, I want, no, I EXPECT, it to sound like it did in the movie.
This music is challenging, but, oh so worth it. I can only half decently play one song, after owning the book for a couple of years, but...I do not care. :0)

I really enjoyed playing through these songs. They are simple and pleasant with just a hint of the mysterious in them.
