BOOK REVIEW :
Finally, I understand why this book is a classic and loved by many. Jane Austen writes really well. Eventhough, the languuage is slightly harder and more twisted than usual. It's still wonderful.
The plot is nice. A little romance for Jane Bennet and Charles Bingley. As usual, some drama get thrown in.
The characters are quite adorable. You will definately adore Jane and Elizabeth Bennet.
This is book is a very hard book to put down.. Once you get started, you cannot stop.
This is definately one of the best books that I have ever read.
Eventhough, the ending is very skeptical (happy endings). Well, I don't really mind. It's a happy ending to a lovely story. It's been a while since we read a story that has a happy ending.
This book must have been the ancestors to all love-hate romance. I highly recommend Pride and Prejudice. I rate this book 4 and a half stars out of five.
MOVIE REVIEW :
This movie is a very interesting and nice movie. As usual, this movie did not follow the book exactly. (A lot of movies hardly follow the book closely.)
However, this movie had a life of it's own. The movie was fun, interesting and funny.
Kiera Knightly gave Elizabeth Bennet a youthful edge while Matthew Macfayden gave Mr.Darcy a very mysterious and dark feel.
Overall, this movie is enjoyable.The director made the movie more modern and relevant to the people of our age. However, if you compare it to the book, I would have to say the book is better because it has more action and drama.
I rate this movie 4 stars out of five stars.
