I absolutely adore the way that Jane Austen writes, it is such beauty in coming up with characters and making them seem so realistic.

The story is one of the best romances that I have ever read it is full of beautiful unforgettable moments between characters.

At the beginning I wasn't sure what to think of Mr. Darcy as he seemed so full of himself, yet I could see beneath that there was something else.

I don't think that I have detested a character as much as Miss Bingley with her scheming to try and improve her own situation. (view spoiler).

As for Mrs Bennett I have never read about a character who has been so obsessed with one thing however her character and temperment bring a comedy element with the book that you can't help acting at her personality. Then there is Mr Bennett who you can't help but adore especially when he stands up to his wife who would over power most people.

With the Bennett sisters (view spoiler)

This book is beautiful tale and I don't think anyone should miss out on reading this tale. I adore this and can't wait to read more Jane Austen books. The ending is adorable (view spoiler) ...more
