LOVED IT. I started reading Pride and Prejudice a few years ago and made it maybe 50 pages in, and then something happened and I got distracted with life and totally forgot to finish. SAD! Well this time, I was better prepared.
Not going to lie, some of the Austen style left me confused -- I wasn't always sure which pronoun referred to which person; some of the longer descriptions had me a little lost. Minor stuff, and my problem, not hers.

Pride and Prejudice is a well-written romance. However, it did not hold my attention until I was half-way through the book. I understand why this is a classic. The ending was really good. However, it is not one of my favorites. I would have to say reading Jane Eyre before this one, ruined me.
