Pride and Prejudice ~ Lisa



Title: Pride and Prejudice
Author: Jane Austen 
Genre: Classic Literature

This was by far the most challenging book I've ever read!
I feel like I actually accomplished something in my life by reading this book. When I read the first few chapters I was so intimidated that I actually shut the book and left the room I was in. I knew that there were going to be some unusual words and phrases in the book knowing that it was written in the early 1800's but those first chapters just took my mind to the extent where I was alienated by all these odd and unusual words, phrases and just plain sentences that made absolutely no sense.
  
Pride and Prejudice is about Mr and Mrs Bennet's five unmarried daughters after a wealthy man moves into the neighbourhood. Mrs Bennet desperately wants her children to marry a rather wealthy man as the children will get near none of their fathers money due to a recent law change. The book is rather funny and there is never a dull boring moment, However for what it is I feel like it is slightly over-rated because all the reviews and comments about the book are all above what it actually is. Overall it is a very good book I particularly love the characters the author has created. 
When reading this book you should definitely have a dictionary on hand !
