one of my all time favourite novels!!
A great love story, one that has lasted over a great amount of time. It's witty and deep. It might get a little tedious for those that don't enjoy the writing styles of the 19th century; i didn't like it at first, but I have grown to really enjoy it.
I've always wanted to read Jane Austen, this is the first book of hers that I have read. It was fantastic, just as I expected. Jane Austen does NOT disappoint!
This is a great book, but I only gave it 3 stars because of the language (old, old English). It was a little hard to understand, but the storyline was good.
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.
