Pride+and+Prejudice+(AN)

review by Ally Nelson In Pride and Prejudice, it's about a young woman named Elizabeth Bennet, and a man named Mr. Darcy. Mr. Darcy is a very quiet, strange, snooty man, but Elizabeth is very interested in him. She wonders why he and another man are so cold to each other, and why he acts the way he does. In return, Mr Darcy starts to wonder about Elizabeth, and wants to get to know her, but still seems a little shy. The conflict is that these two people don't talk to each other much, and need to get to know each other. In the beginning, Elizabeth's sister, Jane, gets very sick, when she is staying at Mr Darcy's sisters' house. Worried about Jane, Elizabeth goes and walks three or four miles to visit her, and then stays overnight. In the evenings, Mr Darcy, his sisters, Elizabeth and some company have discussions, and play games. There is a little bit of mingling, but there are also grand dances, where Mr Darcy finally asks Elizabeth to dance. If you want to know what happens, you should probably go to the library and pick up a copy of Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen.

I liked this book, but I might not recommend it to readers in seventh grade, because especially in the beginning, it is very dull, and dry, and I got very bored. I did like some parts a lot, and they even made me laugh out loud, like when a man asks Elizabeth to marry him, and her mother says that if she says no, then the mother will never speak to her again. The mom thinks that her husband will agree, but instead, he says "Elizabeth, you have a very hard choice. You will lose a parent no matter what, for your mother won't speak to you again if you say 'no', and I will not speak to you again if you say yes." That part made me laugh. And the mom is just weird. So all in all, I think that I would recommend this book,(unless you really don't like books that take a while to get into) because it can be funny, but you can also learn a lot about families, and the time period, just by reading the first hundred pages.
