Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
4.75
emotional funny inspiring medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed reading this book. It really deserves the title of a classic, even 200+ years later the humour is still funny, the characters still relatable and lovable and plot still engaging.

Pride and prejudice is unlike any other classic literature book I have read before. Elizabeth Bennet is not your typical damsel in distress but isn't also a "not like other girls" mary sue type character either. I really enjoyed her growth throughout and the development of her relationship with Mr Darcy was honestly so wholesome and sweet. 

I'm glad I gave into my random urge to read this book, everyone should give reading it a chance.
