It took me a while to get used to the extremely long dialogues but once I did, I quite enjoyed the story. Five Bennet sisters and their love lives in a very good if not a trifle long story. In particular, fitzwilliam Darcy's subtle pursuit of Elizabeth Bennet is amusing. Social mores and customs are well described and the privileged life of the gentry is fascinating geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

My very first Austen book I have read is 'Emma', which is suitably similar in storyline and plot, but the directions that Austen takes you makes them perfectly acceptable as different. They are beautifully styled as you would expect any 19th Century novel to be, particular so since it was written by a female writer, and you can clearly tell with the fluent way it is written. Saying this, there are similarities between other 19th Century writers, such as Elizabeth Gaskell, but Austen's polite and gentle hand is clearly marked in both Pride and Prejudice and Emma, with the comforting humour that leaks out through the pages, though is not altogether too strong for the type of book that it is.
