Why I chose this book:
I
chose this book because I love the author Jane Austen. In addition, Pride
and Prejudice is a book that needs to be read in a life-time. As I first
saw the film I thought the book could be as good as the film. I also like the
countryside and I found the scenery gorgeous. I am also extremely sensitive
about the way of living in the English Countryside at that period of time.What I liked about the book :
My personal opinion is based on the writing which was extremely good but complicated and the story which is like an emblem of the “gentry” and was a description of the behaviour of citizens of the English countryside who are always in need of money and glamour.
In
Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen shows with humour and affection the mentality
of the “gentry”, in pinning the stupidity and the strength of the prejudices of
this little noblesse of the English countryside, who goes from balls to
receptions, and who envies and admires the wealth and titles of the nobility.
I would recommend the book to the readers who are interested in Jane
Austen’s books and who like glamour and irony. I would probably recommend it to
girls around 13 years old but after this age, everybody can read it.
Level : I would
say that the English language was difficult but I could follow because I had
seen the film before.
Rating : 4 / 5
