Hi there. During reading day in class, I read an e-book that I downloaded from the iPad, that was named Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I have only read the first several chapters of the book, but from what I read, it is pretty interesting. Like I said before, I have only read a little bit of the book, but from what I understood, this book is talking about some rich people that come to town, because they found some property there. People were admiring them during a dance, and were delighted to see those wealthy men dancing with the girls from the village. The village people are also gossiping about how prejudice one of the wealthy men. Personally, I really like the main idea of the story, and I like most of the characters. I don't really have anything in particular that keeps me reading this book. This book is sort of hard to put down though. I have a little bit of reading for pleasure in this book, but it is not one of my favorites. Some bits of this book are boring, but some parts are really interesting. I think that someone else may like the book, because it talks about pride and prejudice and talks a little bit about why that's bad. This is the first book that I have read from this book. The reason why I picked this book up is because since we had to have a book for reading day, I just looked in the e-book store and got this book, mainly because of it's title. My favorite kinds of books are adventure books that are full of suspense, and books with good messages, sort of like this one. I think that you should at least read a little bit of this book. You may like it.

Full disclosure - Pride and Prejudice is my favorite book to re-read. I read it at Pretty Lake! It's like an old friend that I can reliably enjoy time with.
ReplyDeleteSo there are characters that are overly proud and characters that are prejudiced toward others - because of their social standing or a perception of intolerance. Everyone has to grow up in this book, even the adults.
Jane Austen is one of my favorite authors. The opening sentence of this novel is totally famous - "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." Of course, the single man isn't in want of a wife but the mothers of single young women are in want of a husband for their daughters.
Let me know if you decide to keep reading this. It's totally NOT an action adventure story.
I will most likely continue reading this book. It's alright if I read one non-action book. Since I started this book, I will probably finish reading it as well.
ReplyDeleteThis book is really cool and it sounds really interesting. I would like to buy this one day so I can enjoy it in my free time. Thanks for showing the book to me.
