This was my first full read of Pride and Prejudice. I never made it very far when it was assigned for school and wanted to finally give it its time. 

I completely get why people love this book and why it’s considered a classic. It was also nice to find out that even though I’m 200 years past release date, there were still a few things I did not get spoiled. While I do struggle with that style of English writing, I still found the story quite enjoyable. I love how she developed her characters and made me either really love them or be very annoyed with them. The pacing lagged a little for me around the second quarter of the book, but I otherwise have no complaints.

Now to watch the 1995 and 2005 adaptations.
