Review Detail

Finally finished! I hadn't expected such a short book to take me so long to read! While I enjoyed Pride and Prejudice and appreciated it for what it was, I unfortunately could not like it as much as I assumed I would have. I found many parts dull and the characters somewhat bland. That probably surprised me most, because I expected and in a way found intriguing characters but I felt we were unable to get to know their personalities as much as I would have liked(with a few exceptions). I felt that at times the plot seemed very forced and contrived, but that might have been partly due to the fact that my reading was so broken up during the course of time I read it that it felt choppy. I will definitely read other Austen books, and perhaps I will enjoy another more than Pride and Prejudice.
