Obviously, it has been established that this book is generally considered very good. I really enjoyed it and had a fun time reading it. 

I’ve never seen the movie, so I was very unfamiliar with the actual plot. The old English was very hard to read at first, it probably took me about 50 pages before I was wholly used to it. After that point, I was genuinely interested in the story and tempted to keep turning the pages. 

Something I did that really helped out was reading a summary online after reading each chapter to make sure I didn’t miss parts of the plot and understood. Additionally, each chapter had a list of themes and I liked being able to realize those as I read. 

Overall, I think this is definitely a classic that people need to pick up! It’s decently short compared to others and I really loved the development of Elizabeth and Darcy and their relationship.
