Library Journal

Austen is the hot property of the entertainment world with new feature film versions of Persuasion and Sense and Sensibility on the silver screen and Pride and Prejudice hitting the TV airwaves on PBS. Such high visibility will inevitably draw renewed interest in the original source materials. These new Modern Library editions offer quality hardcovers at affordable prices.

Not as good as I expected, with all the hype surrounding this book, but it was still fun to read. Very witty and refreshing at parts.

Is quite long and can be confusing to those who don't understand the time period of the book. I'd suggest watching the BBC movie of this book to help with understanding.

Quotes

Report This

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.”
