I really liked watching Pride and Prejudice in Lit class, so I figured I should read the book. Some people worship Jane Austen's novels, yet I have a few friends who think they only consist of whiny girls. Either way, It's one the 1001 books to read before you die, so might as well give it a try. Surprisingly, I've found this book to be pretty complicated so far. The diction is more complicated than I thought it would be and the interactions between people are just so odd. Probably for the first time, I'm a little thankful I've watched the movie before reading the book so that I at least know what's going on. I'm not really a fan of Darcy. or much of the males in Pride and Prejudice. They all seem a little too misogynistic for my tastes. It's clearly the time period though. We're not suppose to like Darcy in the beginning anyway. It's a shame because all of the males were rather attractive in the movie. Actually, I like Mr. Bennet because he's funny and just a very nice character. So far, I'd only give Pride and Prejudice a fair rating. I'm not much for the romantic love stories, but I can see how some people woule enjoy it. It just requires more reading skill than I may posses. I'm hoping it will start getting a little more exciting.
