Book Review: Volume One of Pride and Prejudice


Hey guys and gals! Sorry this took so long to upload, but I had to edit a lot of information so the blog wasn't too long and decided (While editing) that I will break each Volume of the book up into 3 different blogs for today and Sunday. There was also a Cowboys football game today (We won) and that distracted me for the longest time. But, with that in mind, lets get this started!

So, the publisher of Pride and Prejudice is, (as you can probably guess) Penguin Classic in 1996. The actual book was made in 1812 by Jane Austen. However, our publisher re-did it and it was redone in New York City, New York. A short summary to the book is there once was a family of 5 unwed daughters, a mother and father. The mother, at the time, wanted her daughters to be married and when she heard of a rich, single man moving in, she had to try. At first, the story appears to only follow him as one of the main characters, Mr. Bingley. However, when Jane Bennett, the oldest daughter, falls in love with him and vice versa, she tells her sister Elizabeth Bennett, the second oldest, who doesn't care for him or his friend Mr.Darcy as Mr.Darcy is very prideful. Mr. Darcy, fried s with Mr. Bingley, doesn't like her until one day she refuses to dance. At that moment, the relationships between the friends and daughters changes; some for the worse and some for the better.

The book is a romance, and greatly does it show. The love between certain characters is very sweet, but sadly easy to guess. However, the jealous characters help ease this problem, giving the story some humor and serious moments.


My opinion over the book is simple. I love the romance (which is a surprise) in this story. I love the plot so far (For volume one) and the characters with their personalities. I enjoyed the dialogue in some parts and the the character development. I, however, disliked the boring parts with Mr. Collins, the cousin and lover or Elizabeth, and how some of his of his parts felt more like filler than an actual story.

So, for the:QUESTION OF THE DAY?
Do you enjoy romantic books or not and why? Please post your answers in the comments below or post a link to a blog/video if you have discussed this already!

So again this was super late (
